Chantal Akerman: Always on the road

Ready made
1 season1 episode54 min

At just 25, Chantal Akerman revolutionized cinema with Jeanne Dielman, a radical masterpiece that changed film history. But her story didn’t stop there. This documentary explores the fearless evolution of one of Europe’s most groundbreaking directors, from bold comedies and introspective documentaries to avant-garde video installations.

Through intimate interviews with close collaborators and admirers, including Lukas Dhont and Claire Atherton, we uncover the complexity, humour, and relentless curiosity that defined Akerman’s work. A poetic and powerful tribute to an artist who never stopped pushing boundaries — and who still inspires generations today.
