If you loved D'Est, try No Home Movie
Un pont entre un film que tu as déjà vu et un que peu de gens ont croisé. Voici ce qu'ils partagent, et ce que le second fait que le premier ne fait pas.
Ce qu'ils partagent
Both films are directed by Chantal Akerman, and they both carry the slow burn mood tag, and they sit in Documentary territory. If that's the register that drew you to D'Est, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What No Home Movie is
Chantal Akerman films her mother Natalia in their Brussels apartment, where quiet meals, hushed conversations, and fragmented memories unfold over two hours, with sister Sylvaine occasionally joining. Interspersed are Skype calls from Akerman’s distant locations—Oklahoma, New York—revealing how geography no longer dictates proximity, yet loneliness lingers in the gaps. A tender, unvarnished portrait of time, distance, and the ordinary rituals that hold a life together.
