Je Tu Il Elle - I, You, He, She - Chantal Akerman - BE/F 1974 - OmU

In Chantal Akerman's first feature-length film "I, You, He, She" her background in experimental film becomes clear. Within a week she shoots in black and white on 35mm a film that will later be considered a milestone of lesbian cinema. The main character, Julie, locks herself in her room alone after a breakup. After rearranging and straightening her furniture, she routinely carries out her activities: She gets dressed and undressed, eats powdered sugar from a bag, lies on her bed, and writes intensely on a letter. When she does leave, she meets a truck driver who tells her his story. Finally, she does get a little closeness with a friend. But after the two make love, Julie finds herself alone again.
