Chantal Akerman, Belgium, France, Switzerland 1986
Musical, Comedy, Fiction, Drama
« Au cœur d’une galerie marchande, c’est le grand méli-mélo de la vie à fleur de peau où les affaires des autres sont aussi celles de tout le monde : boutiques, snack-bar, salon de coiffure, néons multicolores, un décor où tout est fait pour accrocher l’œil, tenter, séduire. Un espace qui fait de chacun le spectateur de tous les autres et un acteur malgré lui. »[1]
