Haneke's Latest

Some of you may be familir with Michael Haneke’s work. His films usually delve into the darkest corners of the human condition, the alienation and isolation of the modern world and the decadent and meaningless life style of the bourgeoise. Films like The White Ribbon (2009), Caché (2005) and The Piano Teacher (2001), all some of the finest work the medium has to offer this century, explore complex subjects and awfully detached humanity. Happy End, his latest feature, is no different. And although not quite as impressive as some of the director’s best works, it is still one of the best films this year so far.
