Chantal Akerman’s final film is her most forthright and fragile portrait of her relationship with her mother, which acts as a companion piece to Jeanne Dielman, 23, quai du commerce, 1080 Bruxelles.
The film is a portrait of her mother Natalia, a Holocaust survivor, and follows the months leading up to her death. Natalia suffered from chronic anxiety all her life – an affliction that fuelled much of her daughter’s creative output.
Comprising of a series of vignettes that Akerman ‘composed’ by setting down a digital camera in corners of her mother’s Brussels apartment, No Home Movie is a profoundly moving swan song of a film.
