Master filmmaker Chantal Akerman, no stranger to filming in constrained interior spaces, essentially limits herself to the tiny interior of a rented apartment in Tel Aviv.
Akerman restricts her view almost entirely to what she can see through the matchstick window blinds. She turns her voluntary confinement into a vast exploration of her own interior thoughts about space and her place within it, her Jewish identity, her childhood and family relations.
Interiority and exteriority, belonging and displacement, self-reflection and voyeurism all come together in a minimalist film that manages to have a maximal impact.
