The Day When...
1997, French. Directed by Chantal Akerman.
The day I decided to think about the future of cinema …
Chantal Akerman reads a script detailing the woes that befell her on the day she thought about "The Future of Cinema". The camera continuously rotates 360 degrees around her apartment as she rereads the script at an exponentially increasing speed. At its heart, an homage to Godard.
