The return of Jeanne Dielman, 23 quai du commerce
Elected “best film of all time” by the magazine of the British cinematheque, Jeanne Dielman, by Chantal Akerman, is also cited in reference by Céline Sciamma, Todd Haynes, Gus van Sant… Directed in 1975 and benefiting from a re-release in restored copy, the feature film is a pioneering work of feminism and
female gaze
.
Worn by militant actress Delphine Seyrig and made by an 80% female team, it tells three days in the life of a widow who, between two thankless household chores, prostitutes herself to ensure her survival and that of her adolescent son.

The inspiring decorative universe of Marianne Evennou
An interior of oneself, Marianne Evennou.

Anyone who reads the decoration pages of magazines has spotted Marianne Evennou!
The interior designer has his style, immediately recognizable.
Either a colorful palette, a taste for contrasts, a predilection for authentic materials... This autodidact, who does not obey dogmas and does not forbid herself anything, treats dark kitchens and mini-bathrooms like major parts.
Parade, in this beautiful book, singular universes presented through nine thematic chapters (kitchen, office, children's room…) and to make the work practical, Marianne Evennou provides the plans and an address book.
Essestial.
