3º – Amour (Michael Haneke, 2012)
An old man has to deal with the changes in his life after his wife gets sick. Sad, ‘Amour’, a work directed by the Austrian Michael Haneke, is untouchable from the first to the last minute. A film that succeeds in capturing like few others the meanders of the final period of life, bringing the spectator a powerful story.
2º – The Seventh Continent (Michael Haneke, 1989)
We will follow the normal day to day life of a European family made up of a couple and their small daughter. The film gains its substance by bringing the empty compendium to which the family is inserted, with increasingly insensitive and dull routines, leading them to plan an extreme act. One of the most intelligent and striking films when talking about the destructive arc of a traditional contemporary society, ‘The Seventh Continent’ is a journey without returning to the human heart of the world. The most frightening thing that is made explicit in each scene is that the film never considers possible solutions to what we are seeing. On the contrary, it only raises frightening perspectives. Watch this masterpiece by Austrian Michael Haneke, because you will never face life in the same way after it has been shown.
1º – The Piano Teacher (Michael Haneke, 2001)
Haneke gives the viewer the nuances of the concept of perversion inserted in the character of Erika, a successful piano teacher and a seemingly impeccable social life. Well, that’s what Erika keeps on the surface. The film, more than 2 hours long, will explore every minute to show the degenerative process Erika is undergoing.
