Je Tu Il Elle

Je Tu Il Elle is a 1974 French-Belgian film by the Belgian film director Chantal Akerman. To celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Teddy Awards, the film was selected to be shown at the 66th Berlin International Film Festival in February 2016. Plot Julie lives alone in her room; she narrates the film, the first line of which is "So I left". For the first third of the film, she rearranges her furniture, writes letters, lounges in the nude, and eats sugar out of a paper bag. She eventually leaves her room and hitchhikes with a young male driver. They make stops at a restaurant, a bar, and a restroom. She gives him a handjob and he discusses his family life in a long monologue, before they part ways. Julie then visits a woman, her ex-lover, who makes Julie sandwiches and a drink. Julie then suggestively begins to undress the woman, and they have sex. Julie's narration says the woman told her (Julie) "You have to leave in the morning." She does, bringing the film full circle. Cast Chantal Akerman as Julie Niels Arestrup as the driver Claire Wauthion as the woman
