Chantal Akerman
Taking people-watching to
A whole new level.
Saw the twist ending coming,
Like a mile away.
Forced to mind-numbingly watch
Perfect depiction
For Einstein’s “insanity”,
Doing the same thing,
Expecting a difference.
Experimental?
Endurance Experiment.
Not for fun watching.
For admiring film as art,
Academic use,
Psychological study.
In these contexts, this film shines.
