 Chantal Akerman Collection: Vol 2 1982 - 2015 (Limited Edition 5-Disc Blu-ray Box Set)

Covering the later years of Akerman’s career, this set explores her experimentations with form and genre and includes musical comedy Golden Eighties (1986) and her final film, No Home Movie (2015). 

Covering the later years of Chantal Akerman’s career, this 5-disc set completes the two-volume Akerman collection.

Born in Brussels in 1950 to parents who had survived the Holocaust, Chantal Akerman directed more than 40 films (short, medium and feature-length) over almost 50 years, spanning fiction, documentary, musical comedy and literary adaptation. Today, she is regarded as one of the most important and influential directors of her generation. Akerman’s personal, non-conformist body of work has resonated with cinephiles globally and become increasingly relevant since her death in 2015, with filmmakers including Joanna Hogg (The Eternal Daughter), Céline Sciamma (Petite Maman), Alice Diop (Saint Omer) and Jacques Audiard (Emilia Pérez), among others, citing her radical and experimental approach to cinema as a direct inspiration.

Covering the later years of Akerman’s career, this set explores her experimentations with form and genre and includes musical comedy Golden Eighties (1986) and her final film, No Home Movie (2015).
