"The Seventh Continent"
1989
Directed by Michael Haneke
This challenging,
widely acclaimed film by Austrian filmmaker Michael Haneke is based on a true story. It
charts the unusual progress of a family that seems utterly conventional: life holds no
challenge or interest for them--they simply go through the motions of living. The
Seventh Continent unsentimentally records their descent into despair and joint
suicide. Modern life emerges as the ultimate culprit in this obsessive tale of extreme
indifference. German with English subtitles.
111 minutes. |
