Amour (by Michael Haneke)

i wasn't quite sure what happened with Pierrot at the dinner - does his mother break his finger or what? i was also confused by Pierrot's karaoke performance - what happens at the end of that?

Unexpected!

Recommend me some Michael Haneke

Sorry, didn't see that one. Could be his World on a Wire!

Hmm. This Guardian Film article ranks Amour as Haneke's best movie.

Michael Haneke films – ranked!

I've only seen four of his films, and not the best-known ones; but 71 Fragments... is very good and even has some propulsion to it.

You knew that Haneke's career wasn't going to take off in the US when he refused the obvious subtitle for his remake of Funny Games: Sadistic Boogaloo.

I think the sight of isabelle huppert in anything now automatically makes me ready to laugh. Her main thing seems to be often that she is too busy to be in whatever film she is supposed to be acting in.
