Je, tu, il, elle

„Je“ is a girl voluntarily lock up in a room.  „Tu“ is the script. „Il” is a lorry driver. „Elle“ is the girlfriend.   Julie, a young woman alone in a room moves her furniture, writes letters, and eats granulated sugar. She leaves her room and finds a driver with whom she eats and drinks. Later, she joins a young woman with whom she has sex.   In her boundary-breaking feature debut Chantal Akerman herself plays a young woman who seeks to address her experience of isolation through the study of other individuals. In tribute to Chantal Akerman, Panorama is screening two of her films: alongside Je, tu, il, elle, her Panorama film from 1983, Toute une nuit (A Whole Night).   Production company : Paradise Films Distribution company : Unité Trois, Olympic Films Country of origin : Belgium, France Original Language : French Format : black and white - 35 mm – 1,37:1 – son Mono Genre : drama Duration : 90 mn Release date : France – 17 novembre 1974
