Seeing "Academy Awards 'Best Foreign Film' and 'Best
Picture' Nominee" practically guarantees people's interest... as well as
winning on at least the foreign film category.
Filmmaker Michael Haneke brings us his new film in which he
tells us the story of a pair of old-age lovebirds; a couple as adorable as
mundane. Everything begins as nature and old age start to suffocate 'Anne'
(played by also Academy Award Nominee- Emmanuelle Riva), robbing her of her
capacity to be independent little by little.
'Georges' played by Jean-Louis Trintignant does everything
in his power to help his beloved wife make it through the most difficult time
of both their lives. In our opinion, he deserved a nomination as well, because
he did an unbelievable job!
With scenes representative of the desperation the characters
are going through, in his very unique style, Haneke lets the actors themselves,
as well as the situations happening, tell the story with such realism that in
some sequences where 'Anne's' physical and 'Georges's' psychological
deterioration is hard to watch.
This is a TYPICAL European film- long, with very dramatic
sequences and (sorry to tell you a little about the ending) a
"shocking" and hard-to-understand ending.
Great film is you like strictly artistic cinema, but very
disappointing if you are hoping for something different to what European
countries have us accustomed to.
