News From Home
Director:
Chantal Akerman
The news from home comes through "love letters" to the filmmaker in New York from her mother in Europe. This text paints an intimate picture of family life, with its catalogue of minor illnesses, domestic routines and financial anxieties. The elegiac emotion of the text is counterpointed by the images of Manhattan as an alien, urban ghost-town, its streets preternaturally empty.
