Description

In her provocative and minimalist first feature, made just before her masterpiece JEANNE DIELMAN, 23 QUAI DU COMMERCE, 1080 BRUXELLES, Chantal Akerman stars as an aimless and isolated young woman named Julie who embarks on a road trip that leads to lonely love affairs with a male truck driver and a former girlfriend. Hailed as the "cinematic Rosetta Stone of female sexuality" by queer film scholar (and former Film Center programmer) B. Ruby Rich, I, YOU, HE, SHE is renowned for its audacious real-time love scene and revered for its personal, humanistic portrayal of queer life.
