no thanks.

In Jeanne Dielman, one can become frustrated the ultra-long takes of "nothing happening" but it's absolutely essential they be that way. Here they feel terribly unnecessary. It's a shame that she felt the need to hammer the viewer with tedious indulgences, because the general structure is very interesting, and I particularly liked how the narration in the first part would occasionally contradict what you see onscreen. Too bad the film is such a chore to get through.
