Ciné regards 29/10/1978 : Chantal Akerman à propos des Rendez-vous d'Anna

Anna, a detached and diffident director, arrives in Germany to show her latest film; she checks into a hotel, invites a stranger to her bed, and abruptly tells him to leave. He asks her to a birthday lunch with his mother and daughter; she goes. Afterward, in Cologne, she meets an old friend, a Polish Jew and war refugee. In Brussels, she spends the night at a hotel with her mother, whom she rarely sees. On the train, a stranger tells his story. Last, it&#x27;s home to Paris, where her lover Daniel picks her up and they go to a hotel. Throughout, people make personal revelations to her, and Anna listens with little affect. Although it was 30 years ago, the war seems ever present.

Microfilms 29/06/1986 - Chantal Akerman à propos de Golden Eighties

Three young women at a hair salon all like the son of the clothing store proprietors across the mall. Although Robby is selfish and shallow, he&#x27;s appealing to Lili, the salon&#x27;s manager, who&#x27;s trendy and also the salon-owner&#x27;s moll; to Mado, who&#x27;s innocent and sweet; and to Pascale, who&#x27;s intelligent but passive and downcast. Robby&#x27;s dad tells him to grow up and see beyond the mercurial Lili, so he proposes suddenly to Mado. She&#x27;s delighted, but the day before the wedding, Lili returns to give Robby another look. In the background, a Yank who was a soldier in France in World War II returns to Paris and tries to recapture the love of his wartime sweetheart, Robby&#x27;s mom.
