...again last night, as a matter of fact. What can be said about it that hasn't been said?

If one is a film lover one can slowly come to see the the sheer power of persuasion that Akerman has in enlisting the viewer as a vital player in the tale being told. It doesn't matter whether one likes it or not. To watch it with any sincerity is to become a participant. It transcends any requirement to understand or explain.

We already know what it is. We've seen it all before. We will see it again. Not the film; life showing itself to us. It's a masterpiece of the mundane, the genius of the ordinary, the evil of banality.
