housewife, mother, a n d part-tim e prosti­
tute a re shown in painstaking an d painful
d e ta il. The film 's length allows the viewer
to recognize the obsessional quality of the
w om an's d a ily ritual, a n d to understand
why, when she ca n no longer hold to her
tim e ta b le , chaos erupts into her w e ll-
dusted flat. Constantly under the

acte ristically frum py Delphine Seyrig
gives a flawless perform ance. "At once

Dielman not only criticizes the dom inant
