The book analyses the cinematographic oeuvre of the Belgian director Chantal Akerman, seeking to address a fundamental question: in what way does Akerman’s cinema reach the spectator’s body, activating something that did not exist prior to the encounter with the image? Situated at the intersection of aesthetics, film studies, and contemporary feminist film theory, the book proposes an engagement with the ritual dimension of cinema and intimacy, capable of connecting with the audience’s bodily experience. Furthermore, the essay establishes a correspondence between Akerman’s work and that of other filmmakers operating within the personal realm, where experimental, documentary, and fictional modes hybridise.
