JE, TU, IL, ELLE (I, You, He, She)
1975, France / Belgium, R(18+), 86 min, Drama, DVD
Director: Chantal Akerman
Stars: Chantal Akerman, Niels Arestrup, Claire Wauthion
In her provocative first feature, Chantal Akerman stars as an aimless young woman who leaves self-imposed isolation to embark on a road trip that leads to lonely love affairs with a male truck driver and a former girlfriend. With its famous real-time carnal encounter and its daring minimalism, Je tu il elle is Akerman’s most sexually audacious film.

CHANTAL AKERMAN IN THE SEVENTIES
Over the past four decades, Belgian director Chantal Akerman has created one of cinema’s most distinctive bodies of work—formally daring, often autobiographical films about people and places, time and space. In this collection, we present the early films that put her on the map: intensely personal, modernist investigations of cities, history, family, and sexuality, made in the 1970s in the United States and Europe and strongly influenced by the New York experimental film scene. Bold and iconoclastic, these seven films pushed boundaries in their day and continue to have a profound influence on filmmakers all over the world.
