{"product_id":"jeanne-dielman-23-quai-du-catherine-fowler-9781839022821","title":"Jeanne Dielman, 23, Quai Du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles","description":"\u003cp\u003eCatherine Fowler's study positions Jeanne Dielman as a 'contrary' classic, its contrariness arising from director Chantal Akerman's decision to frame an unliberated housewife through a kind of 'slow looking'. By choosing to stay with Jeanne in the kitchen, the film both 'differences' the canon and diverges from Akerman's liberated early films, which involved the rejection of domestic space, married life and the heterosexual script. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFowler draws on original footage, scripts, unmade and unseen projects, interviews and other documents to painstakingly piece together the making of the film, discovering an alternative origin story which centers upon female alliances, forged through a combination of shared film culture and lived sexism. Those viewers who take up Akerman's invitation to spend time with Jeanne will find their expectations of cinema are changed. Because more than any other film before or since, it reminds us that we give our time to a film; and in making us look both harder and for longer it asks us to feel time slipping away, for ourselves as much as for its protagonist.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Catherine Fowler\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1839022825\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781839022821\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e British Film Institute\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/13\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.32h x 5.28w x 0.39d","brand":"Catherine Fowler","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43982442266879,"sku":"9781839022821","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a929f42c-59f3-446f-83f4-ca8e2e963a8f.jpg?v=1683261182","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/jeanne-dielman-23-quai-du-catherine-fowler-9781839022821","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
