Chantal Akerman is widely acclaimed as one of the most original and
important directors working in Europe today. A towering figure in
women's and feminist film-making, she has produced a diverse and
intensely personal body of work ranging from minimalist portraits
of the everyday to exuberant romantic comedies, and from
documentaries and musicals to installation art. This book traces
the director's career at the crossroads between experimental and
mainstream cinema, contextualising her work within the American
avant-garde of the 1970s, European anti-naturalism, feminism and
the post-modern aesthetics. While offering an in-depth analysis of
her multi-faceted film style, it also stresses the social and
ethical dimension of her work, especially as regards her
representation of marginal groups and her exploration of exilic and
diasporic identities. Particular attention is given to the
inscription of the Holocaust and of Jewish memory in her films. --
