Yes, it’s 3 hours, but we have to forgive that it’s from an era before MTV and the resulting cultural ADD. If I didn’t know better, I’d think this was the inspiration for Aronofsky’s Academy Award-winning film ‘Black Swan (2010). Well, actually, I don’t know better. Maybe it was.The premise is similar. Here we become the spectator of one woman’s descent into madness. It’s kind of riveting in a ghoulish sort or way.
There’s a lot of much deeper things to say about this film and what it does and what it means, about the crushing routine of everyday life, about the nature of the worlds we live in, the stories we tell, but for now I just wanna say this movie is incredibly hypnotic and genuinely engaging and passes by far quicker than any movie this long and with this little happening rightly should. Good stuff tbh.
A Life of Quiet Desperation
I watched this film forty years after it was made, in a theater in downtown New York City that plays only art films. Still, I was impressed by the audience’s rapt attention over the 3 and 1/2 hours of the film. I too was sitting fascinated the entire time. We seemed to understand that a part of the experience of watching it was familiarizing ourselves with the details of the dignified Jeanne’s existence. Every piece of furniture in her apartment is viewed over and over, and her daily routine is so minutely reviewed that it is imprinted in the mind; so, any tiny deviation jumps out as a sinister departure portending — what? You wait worriedly to find out what it could mean. Mostly you feel a great sadness for someone who is clearly desperate to make ends meet financially, so she and her child will be okay. You see a perfectionist at work as she proceeds through the day, as though the great care she is taking shining and folding and washing will somehow result in safety for her and the child. There is a spirituality in this, and it begins to take hold of you, and you fervently hope for her survival.

What an interesting film. It shows the utter emptiness of thhe day to day existence of an attractive middle aged widow. She must sell herself to survive and work endlessly to provide for an indifferent teenager. At first it is incredibly boring, but then each day repeats itself and we realize how hard she works. While not for everyone, this becomes totally captivating.
