Directed by Chantal Akerman

Les rendez-vous d'Anna

2h 7m

Directed by Chantal Akerman • 1978 • France

In one of Akerman's most penetrating character studies, Anna, an accomplished filmmaker (played by Aurore Clément), makes her way through a series of European cities to promote her latest movie. Via a succession of eerie, exquisitely shot, brief encounters, with men and women, family and strangers, we come to see her emotional and physical detachment from the world.
