A good movie

Well, it turned out to be such a depressing movie. It was in fact Michael Haneke’s directing début and there were already many of his trademarks : the sober and ascetic directing, the unknow actors (at least, to me), the osbcure plot and the pessimistic view on humanity. Anyway, by now, I had seen most of the movies directed by Michael Haneke so I should be used to it but still. Indeed, honestly, if you are somber or in a gloomy mood, you should definitely not watch this flick. Eventually, I did like it but it did hit me like a truck. As usual, he apparently tried to make a strong statement but, as usual, you never can be sure what it was but that's what awesome is about Haneke's movies, you have to figure it out for yourself. Still, I have to admit that it was a rather slow movie and it took me a while to understand what was going on but the last 20 minutes were really heavy. Since it was all very depressing and since there was actually no much going on during the whole thing, many viewers won't like it, that’s for sure. As far as I was concerned, I thought it was pretty good and thought-provoking and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you are interested in Haneke's work.
