Brilliant filmmaking by the young Austrian
director, and a return to real acting by the star of Chocolat.
Michael Haneke contrives to tell a love story in the format
of 'inter-related lives' - his snapshot technique gives a taut
thriller feel to the proceedings - and he even weaves in the
asylum-seeker theme (for the third time in this season's films).
You'll not fall asleep in front of this one.
Reviews

actresses of her generation but she's more than matched by
a faultless supporting cast, of which Lu Yenke is a revelation.
European cinema at its very best. " David
Wood, BBC Online
