Jeanne Dielmanrecalls Picasso's Cubism in its discovery of infinite complexity within a mundane bourgeois interior, its reliance on still-life compositions of objects on a table, and the rewards it offers to sustained looking. Unlike Picasso, however, the film commits itself to the bare representation of reality. There are no montages or zoom shots or expressionist bursts of color; any disclosure of personality is conveyed through external objects alone. We infer Jeanne's dissatisfaction, for example, when she makes coffee, tastes it, pours it out, grinds beans for a new batch, and then watches the coffee seep slowly through the hourglass-shaped filter in one of the film's most poignant images of time passing. 11

Although cinephiles think of Jeanne as an archetypal housewife, as a widow she is, strictly speaking, not a housewife at all. She is, rather, a house-wife: married, in effect, to her home, absorbed in the domestic space which she looks after so dutifully. Yet if her housekeeping is a labor of love, it is a non-reciprocal romance. The effect of making Jeanne a widow is to reduce her to her labor functions while isolating her. As prostitute, she plays the role of "wife," responsible for male sexual gratification in addition to cooking and cleaning. Although her son is well into his teenage years, she occasionally looks after a neighbor's howling infant. Thus, in her small flat, she undergoes every familiar trial of housewifery.

T. J. Clark, Picasso and Truth: From Cubism to Guernica (Princeton: Princeton University Press, 2013), 18. [ ⤒] An ambitious young executive chooses a loveless marriage and an unfulfilling personal life in exchange for a successful Wall Street career. A top Hollywood talent agent's cushy existence is threatened when he discovers that his wife is cheating on him and that a reporter has swiped his journal to bring him down. The film tells us several times that Jeanne is missing a double, that she is one half of a pair. There is her dead husband, of whom the empty chair reminds us. There is also her sister, who has emigrated to Canada, where her situation curiously parallels Jeanne's: "I hardly get out," she reports in a letter; "I'm at home most of the time." In the kitchen where Jeanne spends countless hours, there is sometimes one chair, sometimes two. There is, at last, a doubling within Jeanne herself: the frenetic Jeanne of the film's first half and the catatonic Jeanne of the late scenes, in which she succumbs to the emptiness of her existence. In Akerman's study of stasis, the camera never moves: the film consists of long static takes in which Jeanne moves in and out of frame, smoothing down the bed, washing dishes, breading veal. Many shots begin in media res, with Jeanne engrossed in a new task. Activities such as eating or bathing or brushing her hair are treated as continuous with the chores, and so these tasks of self-maintenance come to seem like labor. A scene in which the son attempts to memorize a Baudelaire poem and recites it twice, making different mistakes each time, underscores the film's sense of life lived by rote with only minute variation.
