I had thought the recent DVD release was the first ever, but apparently there was an earlier issue.

replies: text: Your link is dead, but is the director's intent relevant when time can be objectively measured? 201 minutes is orders of magnitude shorter than three days, so the film is not a real-time depiction. 2A01:C22:A414:FD00:87C:49D4:9744:3DBD (talk) 10:30, 2 April 2021 (UTC)

message: Thanks to  for raising this issue in a reversion of "CATEGORY:Films about food and drink," and edit summary (here).
I share the concern to get it right, or at least as close to "right" as the existing categories allow. It would be better if there were a category "Films with food themes" or some such, but....
The closest category I could find was "Films about food and drink," which still seems to me a little better than "Cooking films." I agree that it would be "reductionist" to use either one of them as the only category, but no more so than "Films about prostitution." Each of these categories has heuristic value.
My motive was to lead readers to this "seminal feminist film" (as IOO rightly terms it). Akerman has used food and cooking from the beginning of her career for thematic and analytical purposes, and it is not "reductionist" to acknowledge this aspect of her craft.
But again thanks for objecting to the original category and forcing me to add more sources.
BTW, what makes anyone think I am a "MAN"? ch (talk) 18:59, 23 May 2016 (UTC)

message: This article, and others in Wikipedia and elsewhere, uses the quotation "first masterpiece of the feminine in the history of the cinema" that is attributed to the New York Times. I've been unable to find the original quotation in an archive search there. The quotation appears to be a translation of text in a review for Le Monde by Louis Marcorelles. The source for this is:  I'm planning to make the corresponding revision, but am delaying a bit in case there are objections to my source. Easchiff (talk) 05:24, 28 November 2019 (UTC)

message: Um...? Slice of life describes the depiction of mundane experiences in art and entertainment.
"Jeanne [...] has sex with male clients in her house daily [and] she murders a client."
Sounds like my days aren't mundane enough. 2A01:C22:A414:FD00:87C:49D4:9744:3DBD (talk) 10:30, 2 April 2021 (UTC)
