"The Seventh Continent"

(Spoiler Alert)

I don't know if you guys remember. Today professor Imre mentioned another one of Michael Haneke's films "The Seventh Continent". It's a story about a family that ends up committing suicide together--based on a true story. I watched the film tonight on Netflix Instant Play. I have to say the 2nd half got really interesting. If you enjoy Haneke films, this is a must see.

Anyways, I was browsing youtube and I ran into this clip of Haneke talking about the film. It's probably best to watch the film first, but here's the link:


He makes an interesting point here. I think this is why I enjoy his work so much. Because he's not afraid to put all these concepts about film into action.

  1. He's also one of the most articulate filmmakers to talk about his work, isn't he?
