Michael Haneke
A quartet of films by acclaimed Austrian director Michael Haneke. In the 2005 thriller “Hidden,” Georges (Daniel Auteuil) is a successful television presenter and happily married to Anne (Juliette Binoche). Their idyllic middle-class life is suddenly derailed when Georges begins receiving videos in the mail from someone who has been secretly filming him and his family as they go about their daily lives.
Gradually, the videos become more intimate and personal, suggesting that the perpetrator is someone who knows Georges well. With the police able to help, Georges and Anne’s comfortable life slowly begins to crumble into paranoia and distrust. Isabelle Huppert stars in “The Time of the Wolf” (2003), a thrilling post-apocalyptic drama set in a world where society has completely collapsed.
Anne (Huppert) flees the city with her husband and two children, hoping to find refuge in the family's farmhouse. But upon arrival, they realize they've made a terrible mistake and are forced to embark on a harrowing journey across a disaster-stricken country. Isabelle Huppert also stars in an award-winning performance as a repressed, masochistic music teacher in "The Piano Teacher" (2001).
Erika Kohut (Huppert) teaches piano at the Vienna Conservatory, lives with her domineering mother (Annie Girardot) and secretly commits a series of degrading, masochistic acts. When one of her new students, the handsome Walter Klemmer (Benoît Magimel), tries to seduce her, Erika is initially startled, but then agrees to the relationship - if it can be done on her own terms. What happens next threatens to further strengthen her suicidal impulses.
In the film “The Unknown Code” (2000), Jean (Alexandre Hamidi) contemptuously throws an empty paper bag into the open hands of Romanian beggar Maria (Luminita Gheorghiu) while walking down a Parisian street after meeting his brother’s girlfriend Anne (Binoche). His impulsive act is witnessed by music teacher Amadou (Ona Lu Yenke), who demands that Jean apologize to Maria. The two get into a fight that leads to both Amadou’s arrest and Maria’s deportation.
Haneke’s film takes this brief moment and follows the paths of all of its main characters over the following weeks, tracing the subtle ways in which different lives intertwine in contemporary Europe.
