Piano Teacher, The (2001)

  • Criterion Collection, Haneke, Michael
  • 2001, France, Michael Haneke
  • 3 Comments

Haneke’s shocking work daringly dissects the nature of love, sexual desire, sadomasochism and power with a fierce intelligence that is matched only by arguably Isabelle Huppert’s finest ever performance.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4.5 out of 5.

Happy End (2017)

  • Haneke, Michael
  • 2017, France, Michael Haneke
  • 3 Comments

Haneke’s attempt to find his singular voice in our modern, technological society feels uncannily familiar, though the film’s numerous themes don’t quite come across as typically succinct.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

Amour (2012)

  • Haneke, Michael
  • 2012, France, Michael Haneke
  • 3 Comments

Another astonishing Haneke film that deals with psychological and philosophical depth the realities of old age.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Code Unknown (2000)

  • Criterion Collection, Haneke, Michael
  • 2000, France, Michael Haneke
  • 1 Comment

This is Haneke in peak form—made up of more than forty vignettes shot in long takes that combine to give us a fragmentary sense of what it feels like to live in a multi-racial yet racist, technological yet incommunicable post-2000s world.    

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

White Ribbon, The (2009)

  • Haneke, Michael
  • 2009, Austria, Germany, Michael Haneke
  • 3 Comments

Haneke’s ultra-bleak view of humanity culminates in this masterful magnum opus.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Funny Games U.S. (2007)

  • Haneke, Michael
  • 2007, France, Michael Haneke, USA
  • 1 Comment

A shot-by-shot U.S. remake by Haneke himself of his earlier work, which might just challenge more viewers to tackle his singular filmography.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Time of the Wolf (2003)

  • Haneke, Michael
  • 2003, Austria, France, Michael Haneke
  • Leave a comment

It doesn’t quite bring you to any substantive destination, but Haneke’s attempt at the dystopian apocalyptic drama tries to find compassion when there is absolutely none.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Benny’s Video (1992)

  • Haneke, Michael
  • 1992, Austria, Michael Haneke, Switzerland
  • 1 Comment

Prefiguring the likes of ‘Funny Games’ and ‘Cache’, Haneke’s second feature is a challenging and disturbing work on media violence and its psychological ramifications. 

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

Seventh Continent, The (1989)

  • Haneke, Michael
  • 1989, Austria, Michael Haneke
  • 1 Comment

A solid, uncompromising theatrical debut by Haneke, one that would see the auteur continue to shock and challenge audiences in different ways for the next two decades.

⭐⭐⭐⭐
