"Jean Dillman, 23 rue du Commerce, Brussels 1080", or "Jean Dillman" for short, the Belgian film directed by the Jewish Chantel Akerman in 1975, is the greatest film in the history of cinema - this is what the survey of "Sight and Sound" stated. The journal from the British Film Institute.
The magazine, the most important in its field, conducts a poll every decade among thousands of critics, researchers and industry people around the world to determine what is the greatest work in the history of the big screen, in what is considered the most significant and influential ranking in the field.
Ackerman's film is the first film directed by a woman to reach the top ten in the history of the survey, and now it goes straight to first place.
The film, which describes the life of a housewife who lives with her son, and earns a living from nannies and sex services, is considered among other things to have had a great influence on Israeli cinema, including the film and especially the film "Light" by Keren Yedaya.

"Jean Dillman" ousted from the top "Vertigo", the film of director Alfred Hitchcock from 1958, which qualified for the top in the previous poll held in 2012 - when he himself ousted "Citizen Kane", the film of Orson Welles from 1941, which has won the title for decades, since 1962.
"Vertigo" is now placed in second place, followed by "Citizen Kane", and later in the ranking are classics such as "Tokyo Story" (1953) by the Japanese Yasujiro Ozu, "Mood for Love" by the director Hung Kongi Wong Kar Wai (2000), Stanley Kubrick's "2001: A Space Odyssey" (1976), Claire Dany's French "Good Job" (1999) - the second film by a female director in the top ten, David Lynch's "Melholland Drive" (2001 ), which is also the newest film in the top ten, the Soviet "Man with the Movie Camera" by Dziga Vertov (1929), and "Song in the Rain" by Gene Kelly and Stanley Donen (1951).
"The Rules of the Game" (1939) by Jean Renoir, and "Sunrise" (1927) by F.W. Murnau, "The Searchers" (1956) by John Ford, "The Passion of Joan of Arc" (1927 ) by Carl Theodor Dreyer and "Eight and a half" (1963) by Federico Fellini, which were among the ten greatest films in the previous survey, were pushed out of the top ten.
