German-Austrian filmmaker Michael Haneke polarizes. On the one hand, his films are loved and praised by a wide audience — and have won many awards, on the other hand, they also cause controversy. His most famous works include “The White Band”, “Amour” and “The Piano Teacher”. Melbourne Cinématèque is dedicating a retrospective to the now 83-year-old. - Der deutsch-österreichische Filmemacher Michael Haneke polarisiert. Einerseits werden seine Filme von einem breiten Publikum geliebt und gelobt – und preisgekrönt, andererseits rufen sie auch Kontroversen hervor. Seine wohl bekanntesten Werke sind "Das weiße Band", "Amour" und "Die Klavierlehrerin". Jetzt widmet die Melbourne Cinématèque dem heute 83-Jährigen eine Retrospektive.

THE FARMHOUSE, 15min,. Australia Directed by Luke Creely A young woman, living alone in an isolated rural farmhouse, is haunted one night by a mysterious entity which forces her to confront her inner demons and traumatic past.https://instagram.com/_lcfilms Get to know the filmmaker: What motivated you to make this film? I have always been drawn to slow-burn horror cinema in the mould of Michael Haneke from Austria. His early films are fascinating explorations of the human psyche. This has inspired me from the beginning of my career. I am also very interested in pain and trauma as key themes in my films. So, my aim was to make a Haneke-style horror film that immerses the viewer and makes them uncomfortable as they observe a character who is alone and grappling with PTSD from a past traumatic event. What were your initial reactions when watching the audience talking about your film in the feedback video? The audience feedback video was excellent because the members who spoke understood the film and my intentions as director. They “got it”. And this means that I did what I needed to do as director. Their interpretations were interesting to listen to as well. Subscribe to the podcast: https://twitter.com/wildsoundpod https://www.instagram.com/wildsoundpod/ https://www.facebook.com/wildsoundpod

SEASON 2 - EPISODE 133 - Lisy Christl - Costume Designer In this episode of the Team Deakins Podcast, we speak with costume designer Lisy Christl (CONCLAVE, ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT, FUNNY GAMES). Originally from Bavaria, Lisy did just about everything she could do to avoid the film industry, and she shares several moments from her career when other filmmakers would not take her “no” as an answer. Lisy later reflects on her 10-year-long collaboration with director Michael Haneke, and she reveals the inspiration for the all-white outfits of the two men in FUNNY GAMES. We also discuss Lisy's work on CONCLAVE, and she reveals what inspired her to adjust the typical garb worn by the cardinals. During our discussion of her work in TIME OF THE WOLF, Lisy shares the costuming decision she made to bring the audience to the present in a scene that recalled a scenario out of the Middle Ages, and she reveals the lengths she and her team went to design silent puffy jackets out of consideration for the sound department. We also discuss Lisy's work in ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT, and she describes how and why she empowered herself to make choices that may not have been exactly period appropriate. - This episode is sponsored by Aputure

PUBLIC VERSION. Filmmaker Pascal Plante (RED ROOMS, NADIA BUTTERFLY) joins Adam and Joe to discuss his career journey and the making of his new crime/horror/mystery film. From seeing Michael Haneke's CACHE as a teenager and the other films that inspired him to become a filmmaker… to working in countless positions on dozens of short films on his way up before helming his first feature NADIA BUTTERFLY (2020)… to finding inspiration for RED ROOMS from people who obsessively follow true crime and even go so far as attending various trials… to writing the film while isolated during the pandemic… to his bold choice to only let the audience hear the gruesome crimes and witness various characters' reactions to the violence rather than actually show it on screen… to the breathtaking and highly motivated long takes that relied on camera movement and performance to tell the story in certain scenes more so than the actual editing… to creating two characters that are obsessed with a criminal trial yet writing both of them without bias or judgement…  to his low tolerance for sadism in films or showing gore for the sake of gore alone… Pascal's RED ROOMS (available now on digital and Blu-ray) is one of the best crime/thrillers of the last year!

Filmmaker Pascal Plante (director of Red Rooms, one of our favorite movies of the year) joins to discuss Spanish filmmaker Alejandro Amenábar's 1996 debut, Thesis. While riveting simply at the topical level of its tense genre thrills, the movie also metatextually concerns itself with the moving image as a mediated reflection of our corporeal realities, the push-pull of commercialism and artistry, and the ethics of satisfying a violent culture's sublimated desires for shocking, exploitative imagery. We discuss Amenábar's preternatural capacity behind the camera; how his ability to mystify with the language of cinema allows viewers to recognize their complicity in the film's graphic scenarios as spectators while never sacrificing the raw thrills of moviegoing. Then, citing Michael Haneke's writing, we discuss the nature of violence in media, the responsibilites of the artist, and the morbid concept of mindless entertainment. Finally, we connect the film's subject matter to that of Pascal's latest, discussing parallels, distinctions, and the reward of watching films that assume their audience's intelligence. Red Rooms is available now on VOD and on Region A Blu Ray from Vinegar Syndrome.Get access to all of our premium episodes and bonus content by becoming a Hit Factory Patron for just $5/month.....Our theme song is "Mirror" by Chris Fish.

Two very different nightmares with Peter Jackson's comedy/blood-soaked Braindead (aka Dead Alive) and Michael Haneke's anti-horror treatise Funny Games. Adam Beam is back and lends his encyclopedic horror knowledge to the terrifying proceedings.  Our final Octoberfest of the season from Tupps Brewing and our first (and hopefully only) pumpkin beer of the season from Saint Arnold Brewing Co. 

Felicia is joined by Jeanmarie Vargas to discuss Michael Haneke's film about a woman just trying to live out her sexual fantasies in The Piano Teacher (2001). We chat about Haneke's shift in the 2000s to create more films focused on women and their struggles. Along with the importance of diegetic music as it relates to pushing the story forward. This marks the end of the Haneke series, it was a pleasure (even when it was a displeasure) to revisit his films and watch them through multiple new lenses. He's such a layered artist whose work will always remain relevant and I hope my guests and I have inspired you to watch more of his work (or maybe it's time for a rewatch).

https://notesonfilm1.com/2024/10/05/pofcrit-podcast-2024-liberty-boyd-white-on-funny-games-michael-haneke-2007/ A highly unforgiving work, Michael Haneke's horror cult-classic Funny Games (2007) stands as a profound critique of modern media consumption and the spectator's complicit relationship with the spectacle of violence often provided by American cinema. This podcast delves into the personal reflections on ideology, morality, genre and cinema as a whole, prompted by the unique viewing experience of Haneke's film. From an analysis of the abstract form (Emphasised best by its many meta-textual elements.), it's commitment to sound design, as well as an investigation into the film's dismissal of spectator 'enjoyment' - this episode hopes to emphasise the pervasive genius of Haneke's U.S remake through a conversational analysis of Funny Games as an outlier within contemporary film, thanks to its unflinching hostility towards the spectator typically depended on by cinema.

Uma família de férias, uma remota casa no lago e uma dupla de psicopatas sádicos. Essa é a premissa do filme austríaco Violência Gratuita, dirigido por Michael Haneke e lançado em 1997. Com a habilidade de deixar os espectadores com os nervos à flor da pele, o longa inspirou inúmeras outras produções ao longo dos anos, como o dinamarquês Speak No Evil, e ganhou um remake estadunidense para chamar de seu em 2007. Munida de toda a coragem possível e pronta para procurar terapia depois dessa perturbadora tarefa, hoje nossa bancada viaja até a Áustria para conversar sobre o legado do filme e dissecar sua crítica à violência e à exploração midiática, além de suas questões sobre classe e privilégio. Coloque música clássica na playlist, não esqueça dos tacos de golfe e venha com a gente apreciar esse feriado idílico na beira do lago. Mas tome cuidado: não deixe estranhos entrarem na sua casa, feche bem as portas e sob hipótese alguma diga que tem ovos para emprestar.

We're spending a lot of time around France and ‘ol Gay Paris for September's theme of EUROPEAN VACATION because Bob has a lot of French DVDs that he's been holding on to for a while that need to be watched. We finally get to a movie by the notorious Austrian director Michael Haneke and if his other movies hit like this one? Well, we may need more uncomfortable Haneke movies to watch in the future. France, like many European nations, has its ghosts that it doesn't care to speak much on. Too much emotional inconvenience. Some things should stay in the past. But then you get videos of your apartment from the outside. Violent drawings as though they were done by a child. You got your suspicions but it's too emotionally inconvenient to explain. We can take care of it. Confront it. Surely it can be firmly resolved and you can keep what needs to be hidden where it belongs, right? The past is so inconvenient. Why can't the past understand that it was a long time ago? We're talking Haneke's 2005 modern thriller “CACHé” starring Daniel Auteuil and Juliette Binoche. It might not be what you think and it might not be about what you think. What should be our next Haneke movie to discuss down the road?

On today's episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Bruno Anković about his new film ‘Celebration', which premiered at this years Karlovy Vary International Film Festival in the Crystal Globe competition. We dive into the themes and storytelling techniques used in ‘Celebration', which explores the cyclical nature of history and the challenges of portraying the passage of time through different actors. We also discuss Bruno's cinema influences, including Michael Haneke's ‘The White Ribbon' (2009) and Jim Sheridan's ‘The Field' (1990). Other past inspiration includes the Croatian films ‘Handcuffs' (Croatian title - “Lisice”), dir. Krsto Papić (1969) and ‘The Birch Tree' (Croatian title - “Breza”), dir. Antę Babaja (1967). The discussion also provides insights into Bruno's creative process and the connection between personal experiences and artistic expression. It explores the challenges of making a film that tackles sensitive topics and the importance of creating dialogue and understanding. Bruno discusses the political and social context of the Balkans region and the ongoing tensions that exist. His film ‘Celebration' aims to shed light on why young people can be drawn to extreme ideologies, and the impact of poverty and lack of education. Short EndsThe current cinema landscape is influenced by past films and filmmakers like Michael Haneke and Jim Sheridan, and it is important to appreciate and learn from their work.The passage of time can be effectively portrayed through storytelling techniques such as nonlinear narratives and the use of different actors to represent different stages of a character's life.Filmmaking is a powerful medium for exploring historical and social themes, and it allows for a deeper understanding of the cyclical nature of history.Personal experiences and cultural backgrounds can shape the creative process and influence the themes and storytelling choices in a film.Filmmaking can be a powerful tool for addressing sensitive topics and creating dialogue and understanding.The Balkans region continues to face political and social tensions, and the film ‘Celebration' aims to shed light on these issues.The film explores the reasons why young people can be drawn to extreme ideologies, highlighting the impact of poverty and lack of education.Film festivals play a crucial role in promoting and distributing independent films, and sales agents are important in navigating the industry.What Movies Are You Watching?Like, subscribe and follow us on our socials @pastpresentfeature

This week, Sarah and Emma bond over Michael Haneke's (Funny Games) unnerving character study of a repressed middle-aged piano instructor who seeks an outlet for her controversial sexual desires while in the grasp of her controlling mother.   The ladies discuss the film's central theme of the dynamics of power & control.  An 18-year old Sarah visits a rural roadside smut shop with her friends.  Emma begrudgingly gives a dramatic reading of the film's infamous kink letter, while Sarah reads reviews from disgruntled book club women who, for some reason, were under the impression that this was a romance.

Welcome to Waxing the Porpoise, the podcast that dives deep into the unexplored depths of cinema and occasionally the unexplained. This week G-Baby and the Usual Suspect Steve dip our toes into the world of international cinema by way of notre frere Michael Haneke and examine his darkly unnerving and palpably stoic French feature film, Caché from 2005. Join us as we discuss allergies, niche South Korean horror titles that Steve has been deprived of, one of the most intense and disturbing depictions of suicide on film, and endure G-Baby's whinging about French first name spellings.  The porpoises, midnight companions and keen observers, lay dormant in the shadows while prying eyes lie in wait hoping to force out the hidden truths of the past and the sins of our youth in Caché. Yeah we can do highbrow every now and again.

This month we're just wild about Siobhan Fallon Hogan. You Might Know Her From Men In Black, Forrest Gump, Dancer in the Dark, Dogville, The House That Jack Built, Shelter in Solitude, Rushed, Holes, Seinfeld, and Saturday Night Live.  Siobhan gave us all the goods: from iconic dialect work in your favorite movies to her years-long collaborations with Lars von Trier. Siobhan spilled on doing bits while performing in Shakespeare in the Park, having fart competitions with Ben Gazzara on the set of Dogville, and getting horrifically killed by Matt Dillon in The House That Jack Built. We also got to talk about her turn as a screenwriter of two indie films: Rushed and Shelter in Solitude (both avail to stream now), and how her Catholic values inform all her work. A true delight from start to finish! Just feel better knowing that Lauren Bacall once asked, “Will we ever work again?” and know you are not alone! Love you mean it!  Also, please note we recorded this before we both texted each other “O.J. Simpson is dead!” so yeah, O.J. Simpson is dead and maybe we conjured it by talking about his acting and prison work.  Patreon: www.patreon.com/youmightknowherfrom Follow us on social media: @youmightknowherfrom || @damianbellino || @rodemanne Discussed this episode: Earthquake in NYC Anne loves disaster films: The Poseidon Adventure, The Towering Inferno, Earthquake, Airport The Day After Tomorrow, Deep Impact, Daylight  Should we do a disaster movie watch on Patreon?

In this very special episode, Dhruv and Srilekha celebrate the thoroughly depressing and despairing films of Austrian filmmaker Michael Haneke, who turned 82 a week ago on March 23rd. We first discuss his exacting style that has inspired several high-profile European filmmakers (Ruben Östlund and Yorgos Lanthimos, the most famously known amongst them) to address themes of colonial guilt, fascism, racism, and class inequality in a similarly discomforting way. We then choose three films from his filmography that most overtly (but still mysteriously) engage with these themes — “Code Unknown,” “Caché,” and "The White Ribbon." Listen to the full episode for our spoiler-filled thoughts on these three movies and brief discussions of “Funny Games” and “The Piano Teacher," which we use to introduce listeners to the director's chillingly unnerving worlds.

In this edition of the Podcast for Social Research, recorded live before of a screening of Michael Haneke's 2001 The Piano Teacher, BISR faculty Lauren K. Wolfe, Rebecca Ariel Porte, and Paige Sweet take up impinging mothers, absent fathers, and the variable affordances of literary and cinematic media, as they compare and interpret Haneke's film and the eponymous novel by Elfriede Jelinek from which it was adapted. Topics touched on include: the reactionary milieu of 1980s Austria; ways of reading psychological depth from cinematic surface; recognition and misrecognition (by way of Aristotle and Lauren Berlant); pedagogy and its incidental lessons; musical Romanticism and sexual pathology; dissonance and the (dashed hope for) a return to tonic; Freud and polymorphous perversity; Schubert's Winterreise, Schubert as seduction strategy, Adorno on Schubert, and much else besides.

Buckle up because we're kicking off "Toxic Masculinity Month" with a doozy: Michael Haneke's polarizing 1997 home invasion film Funny Games (but it's okay if you watched the remake instead because they're the exact same film). Helping us parse through these waters is Justin Nordell! Join us as we offer a brief primer on Haneke before going all in on this twisted and cruel little film that holds a mirror up to its audience and makes us question the responsibility of media when it comes to violence. From the fourth wall breaks to the infamous rewind scene, Funny Games is one of the most satisfying, if infuriating, viewing experiences you're ever going to have. Questions? Comments? Snark?
