Chantal Akerman’s film, shot in the grime of 70s New York, bridges the distance from Brussels through dictated letters from her mother.
Over a series of exactingly composed shots of Manhattan, the filmmaker reads letters sent by her mother years earlier.
News From Home is a beautifully captured time capsule of New York City and is Akerman’s most elegantly minimalist reflection on being estranged from across the pond.
