The Seventh Continent Der siebente Kontinent Wed 10 Jul at 6.10pm & Thu 11 Jul at 8.40pm Michael Haneke • Austria 1989 • 1h44m • DCP German, French and English with English subtitles 18 – Contains suicide theme Cast: Birgit Doll, Dieter Berner, Leni Tanzer, Udo Samel, Silvia Fenz. Haneke’s impressive feature theatrical debut follows three members of a middle-class family as their lives and relationships slowly disintegrate. A stunning examination of the effects of emotional isolation and the inability to communicate in the modern age. Benny’s Video Sun 14 Jul at 8.45pm & Mon 15 Jul at 6.15pm Michael Haneke • Austria/Switzerland 1992 • 1h50m • 35mm German, English, Arabic and French with English subtitles 15 – Contains strong violence Cast: Arno Frisch , Angela Winkler, Ulrich Mühe, Ingrid Stassner, Stephanie Brehme. A chilling look at isolation, alienation and violence, and a critique of mass media effects on behaviour. 14-yearold Benny, largely ignored by his parents, spends his time watching violent movies and filming with his video camera. One day, on a whim, he invites a girl to his house, and records the events that transpire.
Michael Haneke: Presented by Drambuie 15 FUNNY GAMES CODE UNKNOWN THE PIANO TEACHER 71 Fragments of a Chronology of Chance 71 Fragmente einer Chronologie des Zufalls Wed 17 Jul at 6.30pm & Thu 18 Jul at 8.45pm Michael Haneke • Austria/Germany 1994 • 1h40m • DCP German, Romanian and English with English subtitles 12A – Contains moderate violence Cast: Lukas Miko, Otto Grünmandl, Anne Bennent, Udo Samel. A cool, cerebral meditation on violence and the media, 71 Fragments follows a number of seemingly unrelated characters, gradually letting the audience know more about each one before revealing what connects them. The third film in Haneke’s so-called ‘trilogy of emotional glacification’, which began with The Seventh Continent and continued with Benny’s Video. The Castle Das Schloß Sun 21 Jul at 8.00pm & Mon 22 Jul at 6.15pm Michael Haneke • Germany/Austria 1997 • 2h3m DCP • German with English subtitles 12A – Contains moderate sex Cast: Ulrich Mühe, Susanne Lothar, Frank Giering, Felix Eitner. Haneke’s made-for-TV film of Kafka’s classic is faithful in letter and spirit to the very end. K, a land surveyor (or is he), turns up at a village and undergoes endless bewildering, frustrating and demeaning experiences at the hands both of a repressive bureaucracy (the Castle, which we never actually see) and of the strangely complicitous villagers. A strong sense of absurdity imbues the overall atmosphere of guilt, paranoia, misplaced ambition, desire and impotence, and Haneke’s cool, characteristically austere direction and the stark design lend the film a strange, mesmerising logic all of its own. Funny Games Sun 28 Jul at 6.10pm & Mon 29 Jul at 8.45pm Michael Haneke • Austria 1997 • 1h49m • 35mm German and French with English subtitles • 18 Cast: Susanne Lothar, Ulrich Mühe, Arno Frisch, Frank Giering. Two psychotic young men take a mother, father and son hostage in their holiday cabin and force them to play sadistic ‘games’ with one another for their amusement. “It isn’t supposed to be a film you like. What I hope is that they [the audience] find it disturbing.” - Michael Haneke Code Unknown Code inconnu Wed 31 Jul at 6.00pm & Thu 1 Aug at 8.30pm Michael Haneke • France/Germany/Romania 2000 • 1h57m 35mm • French, Romanian, English, German, Arabic, Malinke and French Sign Language with English subtitles 15 – Contains strong language Cast: Juliet Binoche, Thierry Neuvic, Sepp Bierbichler, Ona Lu Yenke, Luminita Gheprghiu, Arsinée Khanijan, Alexandre Hamidi. Whereas much of Haneke’s previous work placed an extremely violent act at the centre, in Code Unknown the violence is more subtle and psychological in nature. In a kaleidoscope of tales, some interrelated, some not, Haneke delivers a sobering reflection on the nature of action and obligation. The events of the film are propelled by a fascinating opening scene where a triad of characters and stories intersect: an illegal immigrant from Romania, a man who lives in Paris with his African family, and an actress married to a war photographer constantly away on assignment. The Piano Teacher La pianiste Sun 4 Aug at 8.30pm & Mon 5 Aug at 5.45pm Michael Haneke • Austria/France/Germany 2001 • 2h5m 35mm • French and German with English subtitles 18 – Contains strong language, violence, sexual violence, sex and sado-masochism theme Cast: Isabelle Huppert, Annie Girardot, Benoît Magimel, Susanne Lothar, Udo Samel. In her late thirties, Erika Kahut is a piano teacher at the esteemed Vienna Conservatory. She is strict, intimidating and respected; however, her personality is a diligent construction and a painful response to her constricted life. She still shares an apartment with her mother and their co-dependent relationship is stifling and even violent. Erika’s twisted regimen and careful façade are completely obliterated when Walter, a younger student, decides to seduce his teacher. The Time of the Wolf Le temps du loup Thu 8 Aug at 6.00pm & Fri 9 Aug at 8.45pm Michael Haneke • France/Austria/Germany 2003 • 1h53m 35mm • French and Romanian with English subtitles 15 – Contains strong language and animal slaughter Cast: Isabelle Huppert, Béatrice Dalle, Patrice Chéreau, Rona Hartner, Olivier Gourmet. The opening of The Time of the Wolf recalls Haneke’s 1997 film Funny Games. Anne (Isabelle Huppert) and her two children watch in horror as her husband is gunned down by a stranger who has invaded their holiday home. But there the comparison ends. As the remaining trio go on the run through the countryside, much of the first half of the film is shrouded in darkness. It’s only after they encounter a group of what appears to be vagrants that all becomes clear. SEASON CONTINUES OVERLEAF
