On n’arrête pas quelqu’un qui a faim. Mais on en a peur. Peur de l’autre, peur de la souillure, peur des maladies qu’il peut apporter avec lui. Peur d’être envahi. Mais on n’a pas peur de le tuer. Chantal Akerman s’attache aux ressortissants mexicains traqués continuellement par les services de l’immigration américaine, alors qu’ils tentent d’échapper à la misère de leur pays pour se retrouver, parias déportés et exploités.

Jeanne Dielman examines a single mother's 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 son's subsistence. Like her other activities, Jeanne's prostitution is part of the routine she performs every day by rote and is uneventful. But on the second day, Jeanne's routine begins to unravel subtly, as she drops a newly washed spoon and overcooks the potatoes that she's preparing for dinner. These alterations to Jeanne's existence prepare for the climax on the third day.
