Jeanne Dielman, 23 Commerce Quay, 1080 Brussels

Framed by a sense of impending doom, this is the meticulously detailed routine of a middle-aged widow taking care of her son, her apartment and trying to make ends meet. Whether seen as an exacting character study or as one of cinema's most hypnotic and complete depictions of space and time, Jeanne Dielman is an astonishing, compelling movie experiment.
