!["For a lot of people, 'Jeanne Dielman' (1975) could represent the ideal woman, but when you look at the life of an ideal woman, it is unbearable." --- Chantal Akerman Full Excerpt: "I remembered, at first fleetingly but then very strongly, that I wanted to dedicate this film to my mother: that I wanted to say 'for my mother Natalia, called Nelly' and that I immediately repressed this idea out of modesty or censorship...and I also tell myself that if I had not known my mother, I would not have made this film, which is, however, absolutely not the portrait of my mother. I began with several very precise images from my childhood: watching my mother at the stove; my mother carrying packages...Why did I chose a beautiful woman? Because men always think that women inside their homes are ugly. My mother is beautiful. I think that Delphine [Seyrig] carried with her all the roles that she had played up to then, that is to say, the cinema...If I had used my mother, it would have only been my mother. At the beginning, I thought I was simply telling the story of three days in the life of a woman, but later I realised that it was a film about occupying time to avoid anguish, to keep moving so as not to think about the fundamental thing, which is being. There is also the contradictory aspect of these movements; when you see that woman, you tell yourself that it isn't possible; at the same time, I am talking about a woman I love who is my mother. All that is very ambiguous; for a lot of people, Jeanne Dielman could represent the ideal woman, but when you look at the life of an ideal woman, it is unbearable. The camera is not positioned to say that, but it is so obvious. For me this is very old; it goes back to images of my mother when I was a child."

![[TRANS] 240921 IU on Her New Unreleased Song ‘Bye Summer’ 👋☀️ 아이유(IU): All the cities that I’ve been to except Seoul and Yokohama were so hot, so as I was holding the world tour, summer somehow felt super long to me. I really dislike summer, but this was the best summer I’ve had. And I think that summer will end here today. When I wrote the new song, I didn’t expect or mean to perform it in such chilly weather like today. But it just happened that today is the last day of summer. The song is titled “Bye Summer” and it’s about sending off my extremely long yet passionately beloved summer along with my tour. It’s composed by Seo Dong-hwan, who also composed the song “Love wins all” which was well-loved by many this year. And I wrote the lyrics of Bye Summer. For the first time in my life, I performed this song in front of you all so I’m thrilled. I actually have no plans to release this song because Dong-hwan and I made this solely for THE WINNING (encore) concert. It’s a song that might disappear after I let you guys and tomorrow show’s audience hear it.
