I highly respect the director Chantal Akerman, however, this short film was just pretty dull. Although the camera technique is very interesting, the short surrounding that is pretty boring. There's hardly anything to this film, even for a film at only 10 minutes in length!
As I said, Chantal Akerman is a filmmaker I highly respect, and I've loved some of her feature films, but her shorts are pretty disappointing. The other Akerman short film I've seen is "Saute ma ville", which I disliked a bit more.
Is it bad? Not necessarily. But it is just completely empty of anything, other than a very interesting technique.
