LES RENDEZ-VOUS D'ANNA
http://www.criterion.com/films/20204
1978, 127 min.
In one of Akerman's most penetrating character studies, Anna, an accomplished filmmaker (played by Aurore Clement), makes her way through a series of European cities to promote her latest movie. Via a succession of eerie, exquisitely shot, brief encounters -- with men and women, family and strangers -- we come to see her emotional and physical detachment from the world.

DISC THREE
------------------
LA CHAMBRE
http://www.criterion.com/films/20976
1972, 11 min.
Color, 1.66:1
In Chantal Akerman's early short film La chambre, we see the furniture and clutter of one small apartment room become the subject of a moving still life -- with Akerman herself staring back at us. This breakthrough formal experiment is the first film the director made in New York.
HOTEL MONTEREY
http://www.criterion.com/films/20977
1972, 62 min.
Color, 1.33:1
Under Chantal Akerman's watchful eye, a cheap Manhattan hotel glows with mystery and unexpected beauty, its corridors, elevators, rooms, windows, and occasional occupants framed like Edward Hopper tableaux.
NEWS FROM HOME
http://www.criterion.com/films/20978
1976, 85 min.
Color, 1.33:1, French
Letters from Chantal Akerman's mother are read over a series of elegantly composed shots of 1976 New York, where our (unseen) filmmaker and protagonist has relocated. Akerman's unforgettable time capsule of the city is also a gorgeous meditation on urban alienation and personal and familial disconnection.
