Les rendez-vous d'Anna
Chantal Akerman / FR, BE, DE, 1978 / 127 min.
A nomadic filmmaker (and Akerman alter ego) is travelling through Europe to promote her new film. One of Akerman's greatest films, about longing, loneliness, displacement, sexual identity, mother-daughter relationships, and the lingering spectre of war.
Aurore Clément is a nomadic filmmaker (and Akerman’s alter ego) who traverses Europe promoting her latest film. She has a series of tense meetings, among others with a potential lover, her ex-fiancée’s mother, her current lover, her mother (Lea Massari, the disappearing mother Anna from Antonioni’s L'avventura). Anna becomes the centre of a group of lost souls, ends up in deep existential crisis without noticing and transmits this to the others like a communicable disease.
