one month passes...

I saw his four hour tv-miniseries Lemminge from 1979 today. Quite interesting. Thematically, seemed very of a piece with most of what he has done, even though there were a few scenes of true tenderness between young lovers, which is something very rarely seen further on. Filmically only minor things in place, a few jarring jumpcuts; some shocking violence, obliquely shown. Well and good. Haneke has apparantly made 11 tv-films - if the two-part Lemminge counts as two - but I think that with these two and The Castle, I'm not going to investigate it much further.

It's just as absurd, amusing, and unfinished as the book.

It's bad!

I liked it better than a lot of his stuff, but I'm not a huge fan of his.

There you go morbs, yes/no/maybe. Take your pick.

Morbs - its not prime Haneke (made for TV), but as you don't like prime Haneke. It has a v good central performance (Ulrich Mühe)

Is Code Unknown good

It's great. It's my favourite Haneke.

Le Bateau Ivre, Monday, 12 February 2018 20:54 (six years ago) link

Cool I might watch that tonight. Either that or L’eclisse

flappy bird, Monday, 12 February 2018 20:56 (six years ago) link

thanks for the recommendation, I enjoyed it quite a bit! I like The Piano Teacher more but that was great, and refreshingly optimistic

Over on The Current, @GarthGreenwell explores one of the quietest, most unassuming moments in Michael Haneke’s THE PIANO TEACHER (2001) and how it serves as a microcosm of his themes of control and sexuality: https://t.co/mZ3ssgYzu1 pic.twitter.com/i3W3BX2kCF

i pretty much hated the original funny games. might be the first time i have strongly felt much much smarter than a filmmaker.


Waaaaaaht. I thght it was terrific. The remake was good.

I don't think I disliked any of his movies (tho havent seen'em all).

Tbh I absolutely adore H. He has a world view which resembles mine.

The Seventh Continent was quite something as a first film

One of those directors some of whose work I hate (Benny's Video) and love (71 Fragments of a Chronology of Chance, but I haven't seen a lot of his biggest films yet.

Halfway there but for you, Saturday, 2 April 2022 01:28 (two years ago) link

Agreed. Stuff I hate (Benny's Video; Funny Games), stuff I love (Code Unknown; Cache; probably Time of the Wolf on re-watch), and really big ones I still haven't seen yet (The Piano Teacher; The White Ribbon).

Max Hamburgers (Eric H.), Saturday, 2 April 2022 02:22 (two years ago) link

No-one's yet explained to me why I should see Funny Games, a film apparently meant to implicate the viewer in the violence of spectatorship etc. etc. OK, I won't watch it and Haneke and I can both win.

I'm now disappointed to discover that the only scene with any energy in Benny's Video is actually a clip from Toxic Avenger.
