Portrait of A Lazy Woman
A new month, a new short film by Chantal Akerman to discover. In it, as in La Chambre (1972) and Lettre d’une cineaste : Chantal Akerman (1984), we see how Belgium’s most esteemed filmmaker lays in bed. This is what Portrait of A Lazy Woman is all about.
In an exercise of ironic self-awareness, Akerman tries to deal with her own procrastination by making a film about laziness itself. The film is part of a collective project in which seven women each are making a short film about one of the deadly sins.
