Plot: Drama about everyday life in an average middle-class family.
Even if the characters don't consider their act a critique, the director is judgmental in trying to justify it and it doesn't bother me. Probably because I agree with his view to some extent. What's frightening is he makes it possible for everybody to relate to their lives by focusing on the most mundane, repetitive, automated, calculated, controlled and controlling actions life has produced. The fact the way they're portrayed makes it interesting may be a hint that art is the only escape. The finale doesn't shock me because it's presented as the only solution for them with nothing to be missed, neither for them nor us. Flushing money down the toilet seems so satisfying!
This is Haneke. After Funny Games, I am not surprised or shocked. The film actually is quite good. It's thought provoking, although oppresive and even somewhat absurd. What it certainly does is make you think. I think I kinda liked it. At least Haneke has my attention.
not one of haneke's best work. for me, nihilism seemed to be most prevalent theme throughout the film, which doesn't bother me that much because i'm quite nihilistic myself. slow paced, and devastating to watch. loved it for the most part, but too depressing for me to watch again.
The most despairing critique of middle class life I've ever seen in cinema. From Austria's finest Michael Haneke. Unsettling!
Mon film préféré de tous les temps! C'est tellement bien fait, la fin est complétement malade dans la tête!
