Andrew Bujalski was not only a huge fan of the late great Chantal Akerman but he was also a student of hers so it only makes sense he took a thing or two from her films and them in his. It wasn’t until I started watching more of his movies that I caught some major visual similarities between the two.
On the last entry (click here to read) I caught this…
Saute Ma Ville / Mutual Appreciation
But after watching and rewatching a few more of his films I caught a few more similarities that I found interesting.
I know I’ve opened myself up to people calling these similarities vague. Fair enough. How many movies have scenes of people lying around or standing in a kitchen? But I think the fact that Bujalski was thought by her and has shouted her out on a number of occasions means something.
