When asked to participate in the Cinema , of Our Time series , Chantal Akerman jokingly suggested herself as subject matter . She envisioned a film consisting solely of excerpts from her films , but when pressed by the producers to include footage of herself, Akerman grudgingly agreed, and divided the film into two parts . The first part opens with Akerman in her apartment , reading from a text directly to the camera , describing the problems she encountered making this film. What emerges from this mise-en-scene is a funny , often personal , and always thoughtful confession from this extremely perceptive filmmaker. Part two lets Akerman's films speak for her , taking clips from her extensive filmography and linking them anonymously until they form a new film . There are scenes from JEANNE DIELMAN , her best-known film , but also glimpses of several other works - forays into experimental film , comedic shorts , musicals, narrative features - including an early short that stars a very young Chantal.
