Nothing Happens: Chantal Akerman's Hyperrealist Everyday

Rating:
Summary: First comprehensive study
Review: First comprehensive study of this influential avant-garde Belgian filmmaker. A fine writer and a skilled and gifted critic, Margulies offers many new insights into Akerman's important work. The readings of Akerman's films-in particular the contextualization of the work in a wider range of frameworks-are excellent. An impressive book.
