Haneke

Michael Haneke è uno dei registi contemporanei che da più tempo riflette sulla recente storia dell'Europa. Da anni mette al vaglio del proprio cinema molti dei nodi e delle istanze cruciali della storia e della cultura della società occidentale. I suoi film, molti dei quali premiatissimi ai festival e acclamati dalla critica, affrontano temi complessi e irrisolti che spaziano dalle origini culturali del Nazismo (Il nastro bianco, 2009), agli effetti delle politiche coloniali (Niente da nascondere, 2005) sino alla recente emergenza in materia di immigrazione (Happy End, 2017).

Written and directed by Michael Haneke, one of modern cinema's most distinctive and ambitious directors, CODE UNKNOWN is a complex film of powerful emotional force and a fascinating study of the subtle connections and barriers between people, social class, race, and the difficulty of communicating in the modern world.

THE PIANO TEACHER is a powerful and controversial new drama from the award winning filmmaker Michael Haneke.

Michael Haneke’s brilliant follow up to his critically acclaimed 'The Piano Teacher', which won the Grand Prix, Best Actress and Best Actor awards at Cannes in 2001, was presented at this year’s Cannes Festival, where it screened out of competition (Patrice Chéreau, the president of this year’s jury, stars in the film which made TIME OF THE WOLF ineligible for any award). Taking its title from Codex Regius, an ancient Germanic poem which describes the time before the ‘Ragnarok’ the end of the world, TIME OF THE WOLF is a dark and brutally compelling apocalyptic drama. Reuniting Haneke with Isabelle Huppert, his award-winning star from 'The Piano Teacher', TIME OF THE WOLF brings together an impressive ensemble cast, including the French speaking talents of Patrice Chéreau, Béatrice Dalle, Olivier Gourmet and Serge Riaboukine.
