NO HOME MOVIE (Chantal Ackerman 2015)

Is a taxing watch, typical of the Belgian-born filmmaker's "observational" style, concerning an overriding topic of her work, her Polish Holocaust survivor mother, Natalia, who died in 2014. It IS a home movie, if that means mostly sitting down a camera and letting it watch interiors of her mom's Brussels house, or the two of them having desultory chats about family history or this and that, via Skype or in person.
