talking of Mubi, I’m watching Baxter, Vera Baxter. the film has a score of panpipes that runs through the entire film. urgh

that dvd version that was around for years looked like trash. i managed to find a nice HD rip online which is what I imagine will be on mubi. well worth it imo, looks infinitely better than the dvd version.

it’s in the Haneke collection I have, I don’t recall the quality being too bad, but I’m also someone who regularly watches bfi in 360p due to my shit laptop

I apologise

my friend took great delight in telling me recently that he watched la dolce vita for the first time in youtube quality, on his macbook, while on a coach

Hidden is still a searing work of ruddy genius then.

Just about still the best Haneke I think. But he’s added to my list of people who’ve made multiple 5/5s. So well done to him

So great. Really worth watching again with the director’s commentary too. One tidbit I didn’t notice was how the henchman who falls over and shoots himself in the head can be seen falling over twice earlier in the film.

Run Lola Run is a legit 10/10 film for my tastes. Not sure it could be improved in any way (Even if it is aggressively late-90s)

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again

I’m never gonna watch a Haneke

You really ought to

Aha! No

Hidden isn’t a bleak ride, also the film that got me proper into cinema and we’re all thankful for that

Tell me the Haneke film that is the best balance between great and not-bleak, and I’ll watch it before the end of the year

well…

Happy End probably, or Hidden

Oh I’m not saying it’s like a new Wayne’s World but comparatively speaking

No one has ever made a post that would make me think I’d enjoy anything he’d made :man_shrugging:
