Arthouse goddess Delphine Seyrig (Last Year in Marienbad, The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie) is mesmerising as Jeanne Dielman, a middle-aged widow, mother, homemaker and prostitute whose routine existence unravels over the course of three days.

Minimalist and hypnotic, this tour de force of feminist cinema, made when Akerman was just 25 years old (she has now directed more than 40 films) was re-released in New York earlier this year to rave reviews.

New print.
