Michael Haneke
He is one of the most influential and distinctive auteur filmmakers of our time. He has won numerous festival awards, including two Palme d'Or at Cannes. An Oscar and two Golden Globes show that he has made his mark in America. Get to know the work of Austrian master Michael Haneke thanks to KVIFF.TV.
No one reflects the detached and lonely ways of communication as precisely
and stylishly as he does. Whether it's childhood sociopathic behaviour
(Benny's Video), original thoughts on the depiction of violence (Funny Games)
or euthanasia in the Oscar-winning hit Love, Michael Haneke knows how to draw us
into his brilliant cinematic games and make us question our own souls.
