So They Say - THE MEETINGS OF ANNA (1978)
Silence speaks volumes - a principle that Chantal Akerman exercises to the fullest in her profoundly lonely and austere masterclass, LES RENDEZ-VOUS D'ANNA! As a filmmaker promotes her film across the European continent, her fleeting conversations become quiet ambushes on finding home and hearth. Often tuned out by her conversational partners, Anna is also trapped by the film's immaculate framing, brilliantly suffocated by the symmetry and stasis of Akerman's camera. Join your hosts on their proverbial train ride, journeying to destinations such as Akerman's personal style, command of duration, the precise "drama" of its montage, and personal musings on human relationships and communication. In one of your hosts favorite movies in pod history, we can't wait to have this conversation with you!
