《安娜的旅程》(Les rendez-vous d'Anna)
介绍：Jeanne Dielman的成功使艾克曼有机会给Gaumont拍摄电影。就有了这部忧郁，简约，让人难忘的作品。电影讲的是一个女性导演在欧洲的旅途。在每个城市，她都籍此机会拜访亲属，朋友和从前的爱人。但没有一次会见是完满的。那些阻碍交流的一些什么一直存在。艾克曼用漫长的谈话和开放的空间描述了人们之间的隔阂；她的性格与他人的环境以及人之间的隔离。整体开放的气氛或许来自我们所熟悉的欧洲的乡村艺术电影，那是艾克曼浓烈的情感被她一贯的摄影风格和她的迫切所标上的印记。
人物介绍：
香坦·阿克曼(Chantal Akerman)无疑是比利时最杰出的女导演。1950年出生于布鲁塞尔，毕业于巴黎高等电影学院，之后在法国、比利时和美国拍过几部短片和长片；二战后欧洲艺术电影的叙事技巧对她影响很大，使她专注于描绘女性偶然的遭遇和意外的出现。她将女性的工作、爱情、欲望，作为长期关注的主题。她执导的电影探索多重叙事结构，拍过各种类型的影片（纪录片、音乐剧、日记等）。
她的第一部长片《我，你，他，她》(Je, tu, il, elle)，是关于自我反省的三部曲，靠即兴表演拍摄，仅用了8天时间，而且耗资很低。她接着拍摄了《让娜·迪尔曼》(Jeanne Dielman, 23 Quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles)。这部影片不仅是长期以来比利时最重要的影片，而且是国际上最佳“女性电影”之一。她在2001年因成功地导演了颇受争议的《迷惑》一片而备受好评。此片的灵感来自于法国意识流大师马塞尔·普鲁斯特的长篇小说《追忆逝水年华》的第15卷。
尚塔尔·阿克曼影片的特点： 总是把先锋派人物的背景放入正片内，其内容集中表现在对当代女性情感和生活的关注。阿克曼的创作以运用长镜头表现时间感、巧妙运用音响效果和正确处理真实性与艺术容量的辩证关系而著称。

The title Dal polo all'equatore was first used by the pioneering documentary maker, Luca Comerio, for a compilation film of 1925; it was used again by Yervant Gianikian and Angela Ricci Lucchi for their film of 1985. Much of the original has been re-worked: the 'found footage' has been re-shot, slowed down, tinted, and re-edited with a sound track of minimalist composition. As a result, the exotica of colonial travel and sport take on new and sinister meanings. The acts of violence, especially those of hunting, recur in patterns that suggest visually that war is a logical development. A close examination of the work, starting with the opening sequence of a railway journey, explores the centrality of questions of memory and history to this remarkable and influential film.

This film was inspired by a real event—a young US Marine, recently back from the Gulf War, was found digging a grave for his murdered wife in the middle of the California Mojave.

Alexander McQueen had the kind of fashion genius that only comes around once in a generation. He reinvented the catwalk and created clothes that shocked and thrilled his audience.
This dramatic and elegantly shot film tells McQueen's story, by examining critical relationships - most significantly with the eccentric stylist Isabella Blow, who was credited with discovering McQueen and making his meteoric rise to the pinnacle of world fashion possible. McQueen and I includes rare footage of McQueen, and unseen interviews with the woman who shared his ambitions and inspiration.
McQueen's designs were beautiful, savage and revolutionary, erupting from his frenetic imagination. They catapulted him from tough beginnings in the East End to becoming the darling of the catwalks the world over.
From his first graduation show, the hard-up McQueen found a muse and patron in Blow, an exotic aristocrat with a keen eye for talent who would embark upon a fierce campaign to propel the fledgling designer to the forefront of fashion and for his work to gain the recognition it deserved.
To Isabella, McQueen was the genius 'who makes clothes fly'. The tempestuous connection between them was of two outsiders attracted by each other's exuberance and rebellious spirit.
His striking collections and explosive shows quickly earned him a reputation for controversy and he shocked the fashion world. McQueen challenged every convention: with 'bumster' trousers and lunatic asylum shows, with car robots on the catwalk and Kate Moss as a hologram.
Behind the creative drive of both McQueen and Isabella Blow was a darkness that couldn't be kept in check and that McQueen shielded from the public. In 2007, after repeated attempts, Isabella took her own life. One of McQueen's greatest shows was a memorial to her. Three years later and four months after his latest triumph in Paris - his best show yet according to critics - McQueen tragically echoed Isabella when he committed suicide in February 2010.
The film-makers for McQueen and I interview friends, models and journalists, as well as his brother and his ex-boyfriend, to discover what McQueen was really like away from the limelight, the pressure that came with his success and how he changed through the rollercoaster years.
