Jeanne Dielman

Yes, I'm watching it again. 

On the second day she is beginning to unwind psychologically. She's like a robot, walking at a brisk, purposeful pace, making house thoroughly without duplication of effort and mistake free. She is very controlled, like a rustless bolt to borrow from the Chinese. But now she's forgetting things, making mistakes. The bolt is slipping and shaking loose from its tight fitting.
