I honestly did not know what to expect.

The Synopsis read "Chantal Akerman films New York accompanied by her reading letters from Home of her Mother" and that is exactly what it was.

I like films that are inspiring in the way that as your watching it, you start to think i can do that, you just need a camera.

It is fascinating seeing New York in the 70's and it looks so familiar because of all the other films i have watched set in New York.

Her Mother comes across as slightly annoying and still trying to be overbearing even though she is 1000's of miles away.

The beauty is in the simplicity of the idea and the mundanity of what she films.
