Jeanne Dielman: Film Directed by Woman Picked as Best Ever
A film directed by a woman was chosen as the greatest of all time by a group of experts.
Jeanne Dielman, 23 quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles, directed by Chantal Akerman, topped the British Film Institute's Sight and Sound poll.
It is the first time a work directed by a woman reached the top ten. The poll, which runs every decade, was criticised for a lack of diversity.
The winning spot was held for 40 years by Orson Welles' Citizen Kane.
It was overtaken in 2012 by Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo.
Jeanne Dielman, released in 1975, is the story of a Belgian widow who turns to prostitution to make ends meet, but kills one of her clients. The film runs for almost three and a half hours.
Though not as well-known outside the world of film criticism as previous winners, it has been lauded as a "masterpiece", and a ground-breaking piece of feminist film.
