This movie is an experience. Sure, it's a 3 hour film where you watch a lot of mundane things but when you see the little cracks show up they feel big! It's a fascinating film.
I’ve used this film as white noise to help me fall asleep. It works better than meditation music. The sound effects have a hypnotic and mesmerizing quality.
I think the reason for that is is because everyone who watches it has been there. Jeanne is kind of a blank slate character in that she's meant to be as relatable as possible. Life is pretty fucking boring. We all have had a period of time where doing chores brings us comfort, so when we watch her do chores, it's simultaneously boring yet compforting. We're also so used to doing things in a set and specific way, so that's why something as simple as overcooking potatoes can come off as drastic, which is why we relate to it. So when in the film's final reel, she murders somebody out of nowhere, it's genuinely surprising. Very few people have gotten to that point in their lives where the slightest deviation from a formula leads to outright murder, but its a more fantastical depiction of a fear for a lot of people. Jesus I don't even like art films and im coming up with this interpretation haha. This movie was a strangely comforting viewing experience
@@betterversionn why are you reading through comments about a movie you haven't seen yet that came out decades ago? Scott was clearly responding to someone who has already seen the film, so you cant blame him for including spoilers lmfao, it shows a complete lack of foresight and knowledge on how the internet works
@@betterversionn in my opinion, spoilers are off the table for pieces of media over 5 years old. 🤷♂️ you may not agree with that but you cant expect everyone on the internet to avoid spoiler talk for every piece of media, that is literally impossible. CJ the X here on youtube has a great stance on spoilers that I highly recommend you check out (its at the beginning of their Arrival video). Anyway, more to the point, I can understand watching a clip of a film you havent seen before to get a sense of whether or not it is something you would be interested, but it still blows my mind that you consciously chose to scroll through the comments and then get mad at someone for dropping spoilers. Personally, if I dont want something spoiled for me, I stay away from any discussion about it at all costs until I have watched whatever it is I dont want spoiled, because experience has shown me that people on the internet could give 2 shits about "ruining" a piece of media for someone else. Furthermore, having a discussion about a piece of media without trying to mention spoilers is like eating a sandwich consisting of 2 pieces of bread and nothing else. Completely substanceless and leaves you with an empty feeling after its gone
Oh and for anyone reading this, Rosebud was his sled when he was a kid and Citizen Kane is an OK film at best, theres a lot better out there for you to discover!
This movie is now ranked as the #1 greatest film of all time. When everyone thinks of the great scenes from all the classic films that have ever been made. They still to this day always mention the scenes in this classic. Making the meatloaf. Peeling the potatoes. Sewing the button. Hanging the coat in the closet. Making the bed. Cleaning the bathtub. Switching off the lights. All great scenes. No doubt. It is an absolute masterpiece !!!!!!!!
There's a weird charm to how boring this movie is. Everybody knows what a time in their life when doing chores brings them comfort is like. The movie is almost like a mirror in that sense. It's a love letter to people who have felt so bored and like their life is going nowhere.
i was so saddened by Chantal's death bc we never got to see her cinematic take on being put on hold by an underpaid, alienated service department worker on the other side of the globe. i believe she really could have delivered the goods on that: all the boredom and frustration of dealing with uncaring Southeast Asian telephone workers in a spritely written 3 hour and twenty minute extravaganza.
The part where the space aliens come in and Jeanne Dielman comes in and blasts their asses with a gamma ray while still having enough time to make some of her veal cutlets for her restaurant run by her new Irish fiancée in an underground gambling ring was my favorite part.
This is an incredible piece of filmaking....the shear excitment of watching a women peal potatoes , take out the garbage , attempt to prepare veal cutlets and turn on the radio is ALMOST TO MUCH TO BEAR.....the description says she also turned tricks....BUT I WAS ABLE TO FIGURE OUT HOW SHE DID EVERYTHING.
Annoyingly compelling. I was almost angry that I'd spent 3 hours watching it but then realized what a masterpiece it is when I realized that it had not lost my attention the entire time.
Would y’all stop comparing this film to fucking action films and Star Wars. It’s not Star Wars. There’s a lot that happens. If you’ve ever tried to make a film you would understand that it’s the little things in a day that can make a movie great and sort of exciting and charming. The color and cinematography of this film are amazing. The tile, the 60s aesthetic is something you have to learn to appreciate. The subtle acting of the character, the baby is the main attention attractor of the film because your preconceived notion of films makes you think something climactic would happen and it does not but it plays upon that idea. The film goes outside of the apartment one time, and it’s unexpected and it’s a breath of fresh air it is the climax of the film before the film approaches its 1 hour ending. The films shot continuity is better then pretty much any other film you could compare it too. It’s similar to ozu and his continuity. the film is non linear. You have to engage with it subtly not with sheer analysis and intention. You do not stare at the film. But you watch it casually like the main character does with her daily life.
This is one of the best things ever. Never in my life have I watched a film with 30 minutes of run time left with a person just sitting in a living room breathing anxiety making sob my eyes out. Legendary performance by Delphine Seyrig. What a masterwork.
it's good to know that whenever I see this profile pic I can tell exactly whom it belongs to everytime, you're the Fesh Pince reenactment guy, it's never anybody else
Just in case anyone is curious, in the following scenes she is given superpowers by a mad scientist and then fights a prolonged series of aerial battles with evil killer robots from the Dark Dimension. This scene is more enjoyable though.
Forget about the "shower scene" in Psycho...forget about Brando "I've could've been a contender" in On The Waterfront...and certainly forget DeNiro You talking to me in Taxi Driver... They all pale in comparison to the greatest scene ever filmed from the greatest movie ever made: the "veal cutlet" scene in Jeanne Dielman.
Rolling Stone is way too boring of a magazine to compare with Sight and Sound. A more apt music magazine for comparison, that truly celebrates the art form and not just boomer rock, is The Wire. Lou Reed is way too basic though, if it's not Hanatarash or Nurse With Wound I ain't listening
Élu "le meilleur film de tous les temps", peut-être pas ! Mais il est vrai que tout le monde se reconnaît là,et donc il y a quelque chose d'apaisant. C'est ce qu'on demande,de la part du cinéma, aussi. Merci😘
Ça fait 70 ans qu'on bombarde l'Europe aec des films US dont les thèmes principaux sont fric, violence et super héros. Si ce film et qqs autres rares films européens nous parlent tant, c'est parce qu'ils sont bien plus proches de nous. Il serait grand temps de se recentrer un peu sur une culture que nous avons, contrairement aux US justement
Yeah? And John Cage "composed" a symphony called 4:33. It was four minutes and thirty three seconds of silence. No one remembers or cares about 4:33, and no one will notice or care that this film has been rated the top film of all time. The idea that it's better than Hitchcock's Vertigo is laughable. With corporate media dying, fewer and fewer people even hear these tastemakers, which means whoever gained the top spot years ago will keep it.
@@Progger11I wasn't talking about caring enough to comment. I was talking about new lists of the top films being made in an era when far fewer people are paying attention. It's like the Oscars: nobody watches. Whoever made their mark in the past will keep it. These current taste makers are heard by far fewer people. The older lists will probably remain relevant, while the new list will be forgotten tomorrow.
this whole seen pisses me off because it looks like she's never done it before lol, the second piece isn't even covered with bread crumbs fully, just a little bit, I'm like my god use another plate and cover them both evenly with crumbs and she doesnt get the edges either!!!!!! is this supposed to make me want to tear my hair out !!!
to me this movie is about a woman who has to make a living by being a sex worker, but she tries to have control over her life by the fastidious way she takes care of her home and her son. When things begin to unravel you can tell by little changes in her appearance, and when the last man who visits her makes her feel something, she loses it and kills him. Really very sad movie.
Such an articulate masterpiece of expressionalism in the middle class existentialism at the peak of the 20th centery marvelous cinematography and storytelling if this isnt a love letter to cinema i dont know what is. By the way im smoking a pipe while writing this. I love poetic and profound cinema i think i just came
And remember, boys and girls, this is the greatest movie ever made! HAHAHA. Honestly, it's memorable and, at times, fascinating, but it's also pretty damn boring at times, too. It reminds me of an Andy Warhol movie, which is a film that is better talked about than watched.
This remarkable film (you've never seen anything like it) this year tops the BFI's Sight and Sound poll, the first the time a film directed by a woman has held that position. I was mesmerized by it. Ackerman was only 24 years old when she shot the movie, and remains fifty years ahead of her time for its relevance. Must-see.
what relevance? i love this movie so don't get me wrong, but is it the greatest film of all time? i don't think so. and let's admit that prior to the sight and sound poll a lot of people hated this movie, and now everyone wants to ride on the bandwagon calling it a masterpiece or giving it a 5 star rating. i loved this movie years ago where no one gives a crap and i remember reading stuff how they find this movie boring. goes to show that people just like to follow what they're being told.
I've never seen this film in its entirety, but considering how contented Jeanne looks here, I assume this scene is from *before* she became a widow. Have I guessed correctly?
Well, there are RUclips channels with thousands if not millions of subscribers that are devoted to mowing grass, making McDonald's food, eating...looks like mundane is therapy for some.

it's like watching a study of time itself.
This movie needs to be rereleased in IMAX.

Apparently she cooks pasta in the upcoming sequel.
Great😂😆
3.5 hours. Not much happens. Yet I was not bored for a second.
Isn’t being bored supposed to be the point of the film?
I think the reason for that is is because everyone who watches it has been there.

I couldn’t believe how such a slow and uneventful film was so engaging in its own way.
Meanwhile Disney can’t even make Star Wars engaging anymore.
I looked at the blu-ray viewfinder thinking I was only 40 minutes in... only to discover I was already halfway through the movie.

Just in case anyone is curious, in the following scenes she is given superpowers by a mad scientist and then fights a prolonged series of aerial battles with evil killer robots from the Dark Dimension. This scene is more enjoyable though.
People complain this is boring, but then they'll watch hours of AMSR videos...
no one is complaining about this being a good movie, especially its asmr like quality. but for it to be called the greatest film? hahaha.
No joke, I can watch that woman making her food for a long time.
It's even better in 3D.
