A minimalistic film on the mundane life.
Akerman's premise in this film is the cyclical mundanity of Jeanne Dielman's life particularly in the domestic. Akerman highlights this mundanity through the elements of slow cinema, long takes, minimal dialogue, just the normal domestic life of Jeanne Dielman which makes the message more profound and felt.
