For the first time in 70 years, the Sight and Sound poll was led by a film directed by a woman - and one that takes a consciously radical feminist approach to cinema. Things will never be the same again. In December 2022, Chantal Akerman's 'Jeanne Dielman' (1975) was unexpectedly chosen as the 'greatest film of all time' in the decennial Sight and Sound survey. Through her ritualistic, repetitive gestures, the character Jeanne Dielman and her actress Delphine Seyrig not only create an image of themselves - an image that withstands any scrutinizing gaze - but also bring to light a field of work relegated to the private sphere: unpaid, because unquantifiable, house and care work. By uniquely intertwining film(-work) and domestic labor, 'Jeanne Dielman' serves as a bulwark against the commodification of life time and allows the shared cinematic experience to focus on those things that make the subtle yet ultimately decisive difference. In this respect, the film has lost none of its impact: 'It felt as if there was a before and after of Jeanne Dielman, just as there was once a before and after of Citizen Kane.' On the contrary: the quiet revolution that the film initiates seems to have developed its full potential only in the meantime.
