From the Other Side (Akerman, 2002): BFI Southbank, NFT3, 6.10pm
This screening is part of the Chantal Akerman season at BFI. The digital screening is also being shown on Mrch 5th. Full details here.
Chicago Reader review:
What gives Chantal Akerman’s video documentary about illegal Mexican
aliens in the U.S. so much bite as well as poignancy is her personal
investment in the material. It’s felt in her haunted and highly
evocative lingering over landscapes (an Akerman specialty), as well as
in her subtitled interviews with Mexicans in Spanish and a few Americans
in English. These are capped by her own highly moving monologue in
French. A major work that creeps up on you gradually.
