Portrait Of A Young Girl At The End Of The 60s In Brussels (1994)
Shot for French TV during the nineties, Portrait Of A Young Girl At The End Of The 60s In Brussels (1994) is directed and written by Chantal Akerman, and feels semi-autobiographical.

To represent hacking as cool and punk seemed naff and silly, particularly with attractive… Read.
