The Profile

Belgian film director, screenwriter and artist known for experimental, documentary and feminist cinema; active from the late 1960s until 2015.

Born 6 June 1950 in Brussels; died 5 October 2015.

A close, descriptive reading of Je, tu, il, elle focusing on slowness, suspended gestures and first-person narration. The reviewer notes temporal dilation, long fixed shots and an intimacy that feels autobiographical. The piece is reflective and identifies a feminine sensibility with restrained emotion.
