Product Summary

Overview
Chantal Akerman Volume 2 is a 5-disc Blu-ray collection that dives into the later years of Chantal Akerman's illustrious career, celebrating her experimental approach to form and genre. Known for her non-conformist body of work, Akerman’s films have had a lasting impact on cinema, influencing generations of filmmakers. This set includes her musical comedy Golden Eighties (1986) and her deeply personal, final film No Home Movie (2015), exploring themes of identity, memory, and human connection.

Akerman, born in Brussels in 1950, directed more than 40 films across various genres, including fiction, documentary, and musical comedy, over her nearly 50-year career. Her works, particularly her radical approach to cinematic storytelling, continue to resonate with cinephiles and filmmakers alike. This collection completes the two-volume Chantal Akerman box set, highlighting the director’s evolution and experimentation with cinema.
