Up next in our Chantal Akerman Month series is Je Tu Il Elle, her 1974 feature film debut.

The movie follows a young woman (played by Akerman herself) as she withdraws into solitude, rearranging her sparse room, writing and rewriting letters, and engaging in mundane rituals of self-imposed confinement. Eventually, she leaves and hitches a ride with a truck driver, sharing a series of charged yet distant interactions before arriving at the home of a former lover, where the film culminates in an intense, extended love scene.

Stripped of conventional narrative structure, Je Tu Il Elle is a raw and minimalist meditation on loneliness, longing, and the fluidity of relationships, showcasing Akerman’s bold, uncompromising vision.
