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

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:

You want to watch ONE Haneke film and you DONT want it to be bleak

Haha! I just noticed that this time, i can’t even believe you mentioned it, I also couldn’t believe i had never spotted it before. The actual accidental-self-shooting is the best i’ve ever seen, Clooney’s reaction totally makes it convincing. I must listen to the commentary, Soderbergh’s commentaries are always amazing.

court (chaitanya tamhane) gets my vote. has the seriousness of courtroom film drama and humour too with the farcical nature of it. feels prescient.

radiator (tom browne) would’ve been my shout for adults and their aging parents
