Happy Enddoesn't mark the first time Michael Haneke put an ironically positive adjective in the title of one of his movies, as a pair of movies from 1997 and 2007 respectively will show (more on them later). This 2017 film follows a wealthy French family dealing with comparatively minor problems while the inhabitants of a nearby - though just out o...
The funny thing about 2007's Funny Games is that it doesn't have much to offer for anyone who's seen the 1997 original. The films are shot in a nearly identical fashion, and both tell the same story about two young menterrorizing a family in their home, all the while one of the young men breaks the fourth wall, attempting to make viewers feel guilt...
Numerous Michael Haneke films spend much of their runtime building up to a shocking act of violence, but few build to it as gradually as 71 Fragments of a Chronology of Chance. Put simply, it revolves around various characters who are all impacted in some way by a mass shooting on Christmas Eve, with the film unfolding in a deliberately fractured, ...
It's hard to classify something as obscure as Time of the Wolf, when it comes to genre. The film follows a family who's trying to survive some mysterious but clearly terrible circumstances, though the ambiguity about why they're in the position they are makes the film difficult to pin down.

Benny's Video isn't quite classifiable as a full-blown found footage film, though in a way, it feels like it could be commenting on the genre, even though that style of movie hadn't truly taken off in 1992. It follows a 14-year-old boy who commits a heinous crime and records a video confession to his parents, who then have to figure out what to do ...
The best way to describe Code Unknown is that it feels like a refinement of what Michael Haneke was trying to do six years earlier with the flawed but interesting 71 Fragments of a Chronology of Chance. It's told in a similarly fragmented style, and though it doesn't have as dramatic a central premise as that 1994 film, it does ultimately focus mor...
Though The Piano Teacher was directed by Michael Haneke, it's a film that some would say largely belongs to the remarkably intense Isabelle Huppert. She's an acting force of nature in most films she appears in, and The Piano Teachermight well have the most unnerving and borderline terrifying performance of her career. The film's an in-depth study o...
Yes, it's hard to justify 1997's Funny Games being substantially better than the 2007 version. On a purely objective assessment, you'd probably conclude they're equally good. They're both stomach-churning. They're both grim. They both largely succeed in making viewers regret watching them. RELATED: Remakes That Are Basically Shot-For-Shot Identical...
Few films capture the hardships of growing old as unflinchingly as 2012's Amour. It centers on an elderly couple whose lives are permanently changed after the wife suffers a debilitating stroke, and the husband is forced to look after her and face all the challenges that come with that. Haneke released the film the year he turned 70. Its stars were...
2005's Cachéshowed the world what a Michael Haneke thriller looks like. Sure, it's not as explosive or action-packed as the thrillers you'd get from many American filmmakers, but it's undeniably unnerving and tense in a way that may well be Haneke's signature style. Undoubtedly, he keeps things gripping throughout, even though much of the film is l...
