Golden Eighties (also known as Window Shopping) is a 1986 musical comedy film co-written and directed by Chantal Akerman.
Her customer Eli, an American man, reencounters Jeanne, a Jewish woman from Poland who had been his lover in the wake of World War II when he was stationed in France.
Months after these events, Robert now runs a boutique in the space formerly occupied by the salon and is set to marry Mado.
[6] Although Les Annees 80s was poorly received at the 1983 New York Film Festival,[7] Akerman eventually secured the funding she needed.
[8] Golden Eighties premiered at the 1986 Directors' Fortnight, a parallel section of the Cannes Film Festival.
In a 1992 review for The New York Times, critic Vincent Canby described the film as an "unpretentious, absolutely charming romantic comedy-with-music, the small scale of which perfectly suits the passions of its characters".
