- Widowed now for six years, Jeanne Dielman lives in a one-bedroom inner city Brussels flat with her teen-aged son Sylvain Dielman. She never really loved her husband and has no intention of ever remarrying, seeing it more of a chore of getting used to someone than ever missing emotional love. Most of the time, she tends to her household duties with a certain meticulousness and fastidiousness, but also with a definite routine. This attitude extends to the way she treats Sylvain, which is more as caregiver than loving mother. Included within her daily routine is looking after her neighbor's infant son while the mother runs her errands for the day and turning tricks with a small stable of regular clients in the apartment while Sylvain is at school. A few small changes to her routine over a thirty-six hour period culminates with something she's never experienced with one of her clients, which threatens what she knows her life to be. She has to decide how that incident will affect her psyche.—Huggo
- Jeanne Dielman is a middle-aged woman who takes care of her teenage son. Over a three day period the film follows her daily routine, one that never seems to change. She makes her son breakfast, prepares his clothes and cleans his shoes. She then cleans the house and goes out to shop. She makes a living working as a prostitute with a regular customer visiting in the afternoon. Her son isn't very communicative and Jeanne effectively lives alone and in the end leads to a surprising conclusion.—garykmcd
- "Jeanne Dielman, 23 quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles" is a 1975 film directed by Belgian filmmaker Chantal Akerman. The film is a study of a woman's daily routine and her eventual psychological breakdown.
Jeanne Dielman (Delphine Seyrig) is a widowed mother who lives with her son Sylvain (Jan Decorte) in a small apartment in Brussels. She is a meticulous and precise homemaker who spends her days cooking, cleaning, and performing domestic chores. Every day, she prepares and serves the same meals at the same time and carries out her routine with clockwork precision.
However, as the film progresses, the audience becomes aware that Jeanne's meticulously ordered life is not as stable as it seems. Her son's absence during the day, coupled with the arrival of a male client (Henri Storck) at her apartment, leads to a gradual psychological unraveling, and the tension mounts as the routine becomes more and more disrupted.
On the third day, Jeanne's routine is disrupted as she forgets to turn off the faucet in the kitchen, causing the sink to overflow. This small mistake appears to be the tipping point that sets off a series of psychological events that ultimately lead to Jeanne's breakdown.
The climax of the film occurs when Jeanne, unable to cope with the pressure, kills her male client, and the film ends with Jeanne sitting in a chair, motionless, staring blankly ahead.
"Jeanne Dielman, 23 quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles" is a groundbreaking film that explores the monotony and psychological impact of domestic drudgery. The film's slow, deliberate pace and repetitive structure reflect Jeanne's inner turmoil and mental disintegration, and the climax is a shocking and visceral reminder of the dangerous consequences of repressed emotion.
