<DIV>Through films that alternate between containment, order, and symmetry on the one hand, and obsession, explosiveness, and a lack of control on the other, Chantal Akerman has gained a reputation as one of the most significant filmmakers working today. Her 1975 film <I>Jeanne Dielman, 23 Quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles</I> is widely regarded as the most important feminist film of that decade. In <I>Nothing Happens</I>, Ivone Margulies presents the first comprehensive study of this influential avant-garde Belgian filmmaker.<BR>Margulies grounds her critical analysis in detailed discussions of Akerman’s work—from <I>Saute ma ville</I>, a 13-minute black-and-white film made in 1968, through <I>Jeanne Dielman</I> and <I>Je tu il elle</I> to the present. Focusing on the real-time representation of a woman’s everyday experience in <I>Jeanne Dielman</I>, Margulies brings the history of social and progressive realism and the filmmaker’s work into perspective.
