This beautifully captured time capsule of 1970s New York City is Chantal Akerman’s most elegantly minimalist and profoundly affecting meditation on dislocation and estrangement. Over a series of exactingly composed shots of Manhattan, the filmmaker reads letters sent by her mother years earlier. A tender meditation on urban alienation and personal disconnection. French with English subtitles The short film, The Beloved Child, or I Play at Being a Married Woman (Chantal Akerman, 32m. Belgium, 1971, French with English subtitles) will screen alongside the feature. A young mother reflects on her life and confides in a friend, played by Akerman. Screening as part of our CineMasters: Chantal Akerman season, in partnership with BFI. Thanks to BFI for the film synopsis.DocumentaryPT1H29MU2025-03-23
