  • Summary

  • Coming in at No. 1 on the British Film Institute's recently released Greatest Films of All Time poll was "Jeanne Dielman, 23 quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles" (1975), directed by Chantal Ackerman.

    Never seen the film? You're not alone. Its placement at the top of the charts was a surprise to many, which made it the perfect place for Mike and Brian to kick off their international cinema blindspotting miniseries.

    In this episode, they discuss whether or not mundanity can be a form of awakening and what tedium teaches us about marginalized groups; they debate the film's style and ending; talk agency vs. victimhood; then dig into where "Jeanne Dielman" might palce in their own "greatest films of all time" lists.
