Akerman’s poignant, yet deceptively radical, final film is a profoundly moving portrait of her mother Natalia, a Holocaust survivor, in the months leading up to her death. It comprises a series of vignettes that Akerman ‘composed’ by setting down a digital camera in corners of her mother’s Brussels apartment. Natalia suffered from chronic anxiety all her life – an affliction that fuelled much of her daughter’s creative output.
