Description
Chantal Akerman's mother was dying in 2013, prompting her to return from New York and care for her. During this time, she wrote about her life, including her childhood and the complexities of loving her girlfriend, C. She also incorporated stills from her films into her writing. This book is a distillation of Akerman's themes throughout her creative life, as well as a poignant exploration of the simplest yet most complicated love story: that between a mother and daughter. The result is an imperfectly perfect collection of fragments about her life, woven together with images from her films. Akerman's writing offers a unique insight into her experiences and emotions, making this book a powerful and moving read for anyone interested in art, film, or personal memoirs.
