Je, tu, il, elle
Phyllis Wattis Theater
7:00 p.m.
1974, 90 min.
Akerman directs and stars in this film, which focuses on two days in a woman's life. The story centers around the lonely woman's creative struggles and her emotional distance from most people she encounters. The je (I) refers to the protagonist, played by Akerman; the tu (you) is we, the viewers; the il (he) is a truck driver she hitchhikes with; and elle (she) is her estranged female lover.
Part of Chantal Akerman.
