Notes on Pedro Costa and Chantal Akerman

Jeanne Dielman - a housewife, a most untypical hero of whose existence cinema is usually unaware - is a character of an epic caliber; same with Ventura, the self-proclaimed father of Fontainhas' dwellers, the rhapsode of the poor. They may be living in isolation, restriction and wretchedness - but among the isolated, restricted and wretched, they are the heroes.
