Jeanne Dielman examines a single mothers regimented schedule of cooking, cleaning and mothering over three days. The mother, Jeanne Dielman whose name is only derived from the title and from a letter she reads to her son, prostitutes herself to a male client daily for her and her sons subsistence. Like her other activities, Jeannes prostitution is part of the routine she performs every day by rote and is uneventful. But on the second day, Jeannes routine begins to unravel subtly, as she drops a newly washed spoon and overcooks the potatoes that shes preparing for dinner. These alterations to Jeannes existence prepare for the climax on the third day.After establishing herself as a major film director with Je, tu, il, elle 1974, Akerman said that she felt ready to make a feature with more money and applied for a grant from the Belgian government for financial support, submitting a script that Jane Clarke described as portraying a rigorous regimen constructed around food... and routine bought sex in the afternoon. This script would only be the rough basis for Jeanne Dielman,quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles because after Akerman received the government grant of 120,000 and began production, she threw the script out and began a new film instead. Akerman also explained that she was able to make a femalecentric film because at that point everybody was talking about women and that it was the right time. ........
