Film Information

Over a series of exactingly composed shots of Manhattan circa 1976, Chantal Akerman reads letters sent by her mother years earlier. The juxtaposition between the intimacy of these domestic reports and the lonely, bleakly beautiful cityscapes results in a poignant reflection on personal and familial disconnection that doubles as a transfixing time capsule.
