Michel Haneke, France/Austria 2001, 125mins, subtitled
Michael Haneke’s acclaimed film, the first in a series to be reissued this summer, is a riveting study of female sexuality and the dynamics of control. Isabelle Huppert delivers an icy but quietly seething performance as a repressed middle-aged piano professor at a Viennese conservatory who, after meeting a young student, finds her carefully balanced world overturned when his desire for her develops into destructive infatuation. A critical breakthrough that won the Grand Prix, as well as dual acting awards, at Cannes.
