Cycles of Labour: In the Metaverse, We Will Be Housewives

About This Movie

Cycles of Labour: In the Metaverse, We Will Be Housewives dives deep into the cyclical nature of domestic life, echoing the meticulous routines found in Jeanne Dielman. It’s a videographic essay that reflects on the often-overlooked emotional weight of housework. The pacing is deliberate, allowing viewers to absorb the mundanity and the hidden complexities beneath. The atmosphere feels almost claustrophobic, as it mirrors the isolation of the housewife experience. While the director remains unknown, the film’s distinctive approach to blending virtual reality with documentary techniques makes it stand out. It's a thought-provoking piece that invites dialogue about gender roles and the evolving concept of labor in the digital age.
