Austrian film director
POPULARITY
Eu e o Adriano sentamos de novo naquele estúdio que ainda cheira a carpete novo para falar sobre uma coisa que, se você parar para pensar, é meio doentia: filmes onde pessoas morrem de formas criativas.O Adriano trouxe uma lista com dez filmes slasher. Eu percebi, enquanto ele falava, que o que me atrai nesses filmes não é a perfeição técnica. Na verdade, é quase o contrário. São as falhas, o baixo orçamento e aquela sensação de que o diretor estava tentando dizer algo muito sério com muito pouco dinheiro.Falamos sobre John Carpenter e Wes Craven, que são os nomes óbvios, mas também sobre Michael Haneke, que fez um filme que eu não sei se quero ver de novo, mas fico feliz que exista.No final, a gente ainda gastou um tempo considerável discutindo se Stanley Kubrick estava tentando nos avisar de algo em seu último filme antes de partir. E tem uma série polonesa sobre mandamentos bíblicos que o Adriano indicou e que parece ser a coisa mais triste e bonita que você vai ver este ano.Enfim. É só uma conversa. Se você tiver um tempo livre e quiser ouvir dois caras falando sobre o que faz um filme resistir ao tempo, o vídeo está aí. Se não tiver, eu entendo perfeitamente. A vida anda bem ocupada para todo mundo.
Frank, Anfang/Mitte 40, Lagerarbeiter, Familie mit zwei Kindern, mitten im Leben stehend, bekommt die schlimmste Diagnose, die man sich vorstellen kann. Ein Hirntumor, bösartig, ohne Aussicht auf Heilung. Seine Lebenserwartung, vielleicht ein paar Monate. Zusammen mit seiner Frau, der BVG-Fahrerin Simone, muss er darüber nachdenken, wie er dies seinen beiden Kindern Lily und Mika erzählen kann, wie er behandelt werden möchte, und ganz generell, wie seine letzten Wochen auf der Erde aussehen sollen. Neben der belastenden Strahlentherapie versucht die Familie so gut es geht, Alltag zu leben: Schule, Sport, gemeinsame Quality Time und ein Besuch im Tropical Island stehen auf dem Programm. Aber der Tumor macht sich stärker und stärker bemerkbar: Frank wird von Kopfschmerzen geplagt, verliert mehr und mehr die Orientierung und wird immer schneller zum Pflegefall. Die letzten Tage eines Menschen mit schwerer persönlichkeitsverändernder Krankheit: Andreas Dresen erzählt dies in Halt auf freier Strecke aus dem Jahr 2014 in einem realistischen, lakonischen Ton, der umso brutaler die Tragik der Situation offenbart. Immer dabei das iPhone, das den Familienalltag in intimen Nahaufnahmen einfängt. Auch immer dabei, der Tumor, zuerst als abstrakte Angst, dann als Terror im familiären Alltag, schließlich ganz real als Mann, der im Radio zu hören ist, in der Harald Schmidt Show auftritt und neben Frank im Bett schläft. Johannes, wir haben im Laufe unseres Podcasts schon so manches Tabuthema angefasst. Aber das größte Tabuthema überhaupt haben wir bisher nur in Liebe von Michael Haneke gestreift, und auch da fast so en passant. Deshalb muss ich dich jetzt erst einmal fragen. Fühlst du dich gewappnet, heute über das Sterben zu reden?
For our second Isabelle Huppert Acteurist Spotlight we have another first encounter with an auteur, Claude Chabrol, with the unfortunately translated Story of Women (1988), and take on Huppert's iconic performance in the also inaccurately translated The Piano Teacher (2001). Be prepared for harrowing subject matter and enigmatic behaviour as we discuss the inescapability of moral complicity, sexual aberration, and anti-romance. Then things get slightly lighter in Fear and Moviegoing in Toronto with our discussion of a 4K restoration of Howard Hawks' comedy masterpiece His Girl Friday.

O Festival de cinema de Cannes decorre até dia 23 no sul de França. Em competição nas curtas metragens da selecção oficial está o filme português "Algumas coisas que acontecem ao lado de um rio". Uma obra de Daniel Soares, realizador que já tinha sido distinguido em 2024 com uma menção especial para a outra curta com "Mau por um momento". Desta feita Daniel Soares põe em cena um corpo que flutua no rio, perante a impassividade das pessoas, distraídas com os seus afazeres. O cineasta começa por se declarar supreso com o facto de ter sido seleccionado uma segunda vez para a mais prestigiosa das mostras deste certame. Para já, ficámos muito surpreendidos. Matematicamente falando, é muito complicado ter um filme seleccionado. Há dois anos acho que eram 4 700 filmes ou o quê que foram submetidos ! E os escolhidos este ano acho que são 3000 e tal e 10 escolhidos ! Então ou seja matematicamente é muito complicado e consegui-lo uma segunda vez é muito difícil. Então não estava com muita expectativa em relação a isso, voltar a ser seleccionado. Portanto, se calhar desta vez foi... A primeira vez é claro que é muito especial, mas da segunda vez já é "Espera aí ser selecionado uma vez, dá-te aquela sensação de "ok, consegui enganá-los, enganaram-se, sei lá !" E a segunda vez... pronto, se calhar há aqui qualquer coisa em que eu posso confiar mais na minha intuição quando escrevo especialmente. Porém, se teve essa sensação de ter enganado alguém, acabou por sair de lá com uma distinção. Eles acabaram por lhe enviar uma mensagem, algo contrária de alguma fé, pelo menos no seu cinema. Então, mas agora que está seleccionado uma segunda vez, já teve a curiosidade de ver com quem é que vai estar a competir aqui nesta seleção das curtas metragens da competição oficial? Sim, desta vez. Pessoalmente, eu não conheço ninguém. Da última vez eu conhecia. Tinha um amigo que tinha sido seleccionado, desta vez pessoalmente, não conheço ninguém, mas já vi o filme do realizador do Vietname, uma longa metragem de que eu gostei muito na altura. Lembro-me de ver e vai estar com uma curta. "O sonho é um caracol", não é? Exacto. "Le rêve est un escargot", na tradução francesa do título original vietnamita. Ao fim e ao cabo Cannes, agora já conhece. Já podemos fazer um rescaldo. Como foi para si? Gostou de lá ter ido? Está entusiasmado por voltar? O que é que pretende fazer nesta edição? Sim, estou entusiasmado. Gostei muito da primeira experiência. Se calhar agora, se puder, gostaria de ver mais filmes do que da última vez. Da última vez não consegui ver muitos filmes, mas isso talvez será assim uma coisa que eu tentarei fazer. É assim, há muitas reuniões também, não é que, que acontecem? Pois claro. Há todo um espectáculo que se calhar não é muito a minha cena, mas ao mesmo tempo é importante para dar visibilidade ao filme e aos próximos filmes e construir dessa forma, sei lá, um percurso que me permita continuar a fazer filmes, o que é sempre difícil. Por tudo isso. Pois é, isso é um lugar onde durante duas semanas o pessoal se encontra e celebra o cinema como em nenhum outro lugar, acaba por ser muito especial. Vamos falar do seu filme "Algumas coisas que acontecem ao lado de um rio". Se calhar, antes de entrarmos na história, no argumento, falemos um pouco do elenco. Você foi buscar, por exemplo, valores consagrados do cinema português. Penso em Teresa Madruga, que já colaborou com pessoas como Manoel de Oliveira, Miguel Gomes, que são consagrados em Cannes. E depois há valores menos conhecidos. Por exemplo, os dois rapazes que dão corpo ao grupo de imigrantes e de estafetas que vão tomar banho no rio. Como é que foi pegar neste leque heterogéneo de pessoas para filmar esta obra? Isto é um filme de elenco. E a ideia foi sempre essa. Foi misturar actores incríveis, como a Teresa, como o João Vicente e misturá-los com pessoas menos conhecidas. Para mim, estes dois estafetas não faria qualquer sentido que fossem actores profissionais, caras conhecidas, não é? Acho que isso muitas vezes te tira de um filme, de uma experiência ou te lembra que estás a ver um filme. Então a ideia foi essa, foi misturar e encontrar as pessoas que fossem as mais indicadas para aqueles papéis. E às vezes são, como no caso da Teresa, actrizes com uma grande história e outras vezes são pessoas que nunca estiveram à frente de uma câmara. E eu gosto desse... É o caso do Dilip, é o caso do Amarjeet ? É o caso deles. Como é que os conheceu? Como é que chegou até eles? Fizemos um casting de rua. Encontrámo-los em grupos de estafetas, onde eles se encontram muitas vezes em Lisboa há vários pontos onde eles se encontram, se juntam e aí foi sobretudo a Romina e o Tomás que lideraram esse processo. E foi assim que fomos encontrando essas várias pessoas. Alguns deles estavam interessados em fazer parte de um filme, outras nem tanto. Então, aí já houve assim uma primeira filtragem e depois foram chamados. Fizemos casting. Eu acho que com os dois escolhidos, O Dilip e o Armajeet fizemos três vezes casting para ter a certeza. E eu acho que eles saíram super bem. Tinha algum receio, sim, mas. Mas não correu tudo muito bem. Já nos filmes anteriores você tinha filmes que podiam passar ou pelo menos ser interpretados como um retrato de alguma denúncia, de algum cinismo da nossa sociedade. Fosse, por exemplo, em relação à especulação imobiliária em torno da capital portuguesa. Aqui, nomeadamente, as pessoas estão demasiado preocupadas e não vêem sequer um cadáver que, de facto, está a flutuar no rio. É um pouco isso ? Você pretendia, de facto, pôr o dedo na ferida, não é? Em relação à forma como a nossa sociedade vive, como está estruturada ? É assim, eu não acho que é cinismo. Eu acho que é, pelo contrário, se calhar. Ou seja, se calhar a ideia inicial tenha algo irónico, não é, isso sim. Agora o cinismo, acho que não. Porque se fosse cinismo, se calhar não faria um filme. Eu acho que é mais um olhar humano, só que pronto... Os personagens no filme estão assim, todos em piloto automático. Todos nas suas bolhas, sem com os seus problemas do dia a dia, sem conseguirem ver o corpo. Só que para mim era super importante de mostrar todas as classes sociais, mostrar todas as idades. Não acho que seja cinismo, porque eu acabei de encontrar um pouco de mim em todos esses personagens. Ou seja, não é de cima para baixo. Pelo contrário, eu estou aí também. Ou seja, eu também sofro desses problemas contemporâneos. A dependência em relação aos ecrãs, às redes sociais, por exemplo. Por exemplo. Sim, sobretudo isso. Mas não só. Muitas vezes, esta questão de não conseguir estar presente no momento e muitas vezes. Ou seja, de estar com as minhas filhas e estar preocupado com outras coisas e não conseguir estar ali, não é? Ou seja, fisicamente sim, mas com a cabeça sempre a pensar no futuro, já ou no passado. Também esta ideia da fragmentação de como consumimos filmes ou conteúdos, tudo cada vez mais rápido, o YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, tudo cada vez mais acelerado. E como muitas vezes os telefones já são donos de nós, do nosso foco, da nossa atenção. Esta era do "Short attention span" [Atenção de curta duração], esta coisa que é muito violenta, que aos poucos nos foi conquistando e que agora chegamos a um ponto que é para aí onde é que vamos a partir daqui, não é? Então não é um cinismo, porque existe uma esperança para mim neste filme. A esperança são as crianças ? E do amor pela vida. Não é que as crianças seja isso. É uma leitura do filme, que é esta coisa das crianças serem a solução ou, para um futuro melhor. Eles vão fazer melhor do que nós. Não sei o quê. Só que muitas vezes esquecemos que as gerações anteriores fizeram isso connosco, não é? Então, nós somos a geração do futuro, da esperança, da geração anterior. Então, acho que é muito fácil falar isso, achar que a próxima geração. Mas como ? Se nos vêem a viver desta forma, como é que eles vão de repente dar uma volta de 180 graus ? Eu acho que é mais na nossa geração ainda. Nós é que temos que encontrar uma forma de lidar com isso, de viver de uma forma diferente. Talvez seja quase uma ideia utópica, ou seja. Mas talvez não também, porque também não é assim tão utópico, não é? De tentar sair desse mundo digital e viver no mundo real. E finalmente, que cinéfilo é o Daniel Soares? Mais que não seja em relação à sua trajectória que passa por Portugal, mas também, e em larga escala, pela Alemanha. Que tipo de filmes é que retém a sua atenção e que foram construindo o responsável de cinema que hoje é e que deve ter sido? Um cinéfilo de longa data, presumo ? Por acaso, não por acaso, nunca cresci muito com cinema. Nunca tive ninguém que me mostrou filmes. Comecei a ver cinema, sei lá, uns sete ou oito anos atrás. Na verdade, até porque os filmes que eu via quando era criança não me revia neles. Sempre achei muito ter esta noção de estar a ver um filme e pronto. Mas sei lá, os primeiros filmes que eu comecei a ver que na verdade não têm muito a ver com os meus filmes que eu faço hoje em dia, mas foram os filmes do Kiarostami, que era o cinema que se calhar se aproxima um pouco mais... Abbas Kiarostami do Irão. Sim, mas por exemplo, o Michelangelo Franmartino. Eu lembro-me de ver o "Quatro volte" e achar que, sei lá. Primeiro ficaste super inspirado e ao mesmo tempo sentir que isto seria um tipo de filme que eu conseguisse fazer, mesmo sendo super complicado, obviamente. Eu lembro também Lisandro Alonso, primeiros filmes. Lembro me também do "Toni Erdmann", da Maren Ade. E aí já se aproxima, de certa forma, daquilo que eu faço, no sentido de já ser mais contemporâneo. Ter já esta comédia negra, se quiser falar assim, dessa forma. Ou seja, aí já se vai aproximando, se calhar, daquilo que eu tentaria fazer. Ou os filmes do [Michael] Haneke. Aí sim, também já. Se calhar já entra um bocado essa parte. Mais como estava a dizer, cínica, não é? Mas eu acho que apesar de tudo mesmo o Haneke, o que faz aquele tipo de filmes porque deve, imagino amar a vida, não é? Ou seja, para quê se não fazer um filme desses? Chegou ao cinema tarde, mas tem dado nas vistas. E agora o facto de já ter sido distinguido em cana e de voltar a Cannes. A ideia para si agora seria de facto perseverar, Manter-se neste meio. Viver deste cinema que faz? Sim, esse é o objectivo. Estou agora a preparar uma longa que vamos filmar no próximo Verão. Não este ano. O ano que vem. E é isso. Sim, idealmente continuar a fazer filmes. Será em Portugal a rodagem ? Sim, será em Portugal
Im neuen Q&A der Filmanalyse plus geht es über 100 Minuten lang um Fragen aus dem Publikum und um aktuelle Trends in der Bewegtbildproduktion. 2020 floppte die Kurzfilm- und Serien-App Quibi, doch jetzt plötzlich sind Mikro-Dramen – gemeint sind Produktionen, die deutlich unter 10 Minuten lang sind – das nächste große Business. Wie ist das Phänomen einzuordnen? Welche Bedeutung haben Kurzfilme? Weiter geht es um den kürzlich verstorbenen Filmemacher und Multikünstler Alexander Kluge, um gute Biopics von Richard Linklater und das Problem mit diesem Genre.

Two dear friends and Film Festival colleagues attempt to bridge the gaps of their long-distance relationship — and their own film educations — through a bi-weekly screening and discussion project of the gap films that have eluded their cinematic discovery.On this week's call, Scott and Jack confront the quiet, digital dread of Michael Haneke's Cache (2005) — a surveillance-era domestic thriller that transforms bourgeois guilt into a slow, inexorable haunting.Follow Blindspotting on Facebook and Buzzsprout.
What if some dude who liked to make people feel bad directed a home invasion film that he felt showcased important elements of what's wrong with society, but confused which thing was more important to him along the way, but still managed to make a near masterpiece in the process? That's not rhetorical, I'm asking you. Please tell me. If you aren't familiar with Funny Games, you might want to read up on it a little before diving in. The artistry is in the execution, not in the surprises. And, God damn, if it isn't artistic. You might be surprised by our ratings on this most Austrian episode of Loathsome Things: A Horror Movie Podcast for people who want to get art but don't quite get art, so their sentences about how they feel about art just kind of trail off at the end. Description OVER!
A polite knock. A request for eggs. And then the floor drops out. Our latest dives into Michael Haneke's Funny Games (1997), a home-invasion thriller that refuses to play by genre rules. We unpack why this film still needles under the skin: the calculated pace, the suffocating silence broken by blasts of abrasive music, and the way two eerily courteous young men turn social niceties into weapons. We compare the Austrian original to the shot-for-shot American remake, outline what makes the original feel colder and more precise, and revisit the scenes that linger—especially that ten-minute single take after everything changes.We talk craft without flinching from discomfort. The acting carries a heavy load, with a mother's resolve and a father's helplessness flipping expectations of strength. We get into the moral engine of the film: fourth-wall glances that put the audience on trial and the notorious “rewind” that snatches away catharsis. Is it gimmick or thesis statement? We debate how the film confronts our appetite for violent payoff and whether the refusal to grant relief makes Funny Games uniquely unsettling among home-invasion stories like The Strangers and Eden Lake.There's practical talk, too—what choices doomed the family, which tropes still work, and how sound design manipulates stress without a traditional score. We also share production notes, from Cannes walkouts to the brutal demands placed on the lead actor to capture exhaustion on camera. If you value tension over jump scares, moral provocation over tidy endings, and filmmaking that weaponizes silence, this one's for you. Hit play, then tell us: did the “rewind” break the spell or make the horror unforgettable? Subscribe, share with a horror-loving friend, and leave a review to help others find the show.

When I went back and edited this episode with my guest, filmmaker Tom Koch, I realized: he's doing a color series of films! To put that much thought into his work as well as have the creative control to name his films is the perfect way to describe Tom: extraordinarily thoughtful, humble, and a guy capable of doing anything in his films: acting, writing, directing, accents, ballet even!His latest film, OLIVE (2025) is an absolute treat -- the logline "while caring for grandma, Sam, the character played by Tom -- begins to question the nature of their relationship" -- and it shows his mastery of the craft. He even knows war films, which is my unique quality. If he ever gets into indie film podcasting, I can't say I wasn't warned about how great he'd be.In this episode, Tom and I talk about:save some talent for the rest of us, Tom -- acting, writing, producing, directing, ballet?!;how he got started in acting;how his approach evolved from ORANGE (2024) to OLIVE (2025);writing a script and playing a character you weren't expecting to play;when writing, directing, and acting becomes a bit too much in indie films;the challenges of casting in a world that cares more about celebrity and follower count than actual talent;how much being a stage actor matters;what does he look for in actors when he's casting his own projects;the best way to think about OLIVE before watching;what excites him about "telling stories with a twist", the motto of his production company;the festival circuit for his films and what advice he has for film festivals;what he's working on now and when people can expect to see OLIVE;whether we'll see him behind a camera and his great eye for war films.Tom's Indie Film Highlight: AMOUR (2012) dir. by Michael Haneke; THE PIANO TEACHER (2001) dir. by Michael Haneke; THE WHITE RIBBON (2009) dir. by Michael Haneke; WARFARE (2025) dir. by Ray Mendoza; Alex GarlandMemorable Quotes:"Nobody saw a stage play or school play of mine...when I was seven and said, oh, that kid.""The big thing that I changed for OLIVE was that ORANGE was really a proof of concept." About acting in OLIVE: "And there was a part of me that thought it would make things easier because I didn't have to find an actor and I didn't have to tell them what Sam was, in a way.""Sadly we're in a world now where we're competing with so many different productions and so many different artists, and funding for film is getting a bit harder because I don't know if people trust the medium as much as before."More about acting: "It's one of the only jobs where people get placed in it out of nowhere when it requires so much training and people go to school for four years to...get better at acting and do like classical work. You would never do that with an athlete.""I don't think it's necessary to do stage to be a great screen actor.""You can take a little bit more liberties with a short...people are not really behind your butt saying oh, you can't write this, you can't write that. Oh, you have to change the ending because you're you're doing your own thing. So it's perfect for that.""It's a very hard and tedious process where the cards are not in your hands and you work for a year on something that you create with a group of people. You put it on a Vimeo link and you pray.""They've watched thousands of films and they picked a few, and they're like, go watch those.""I feel like the more I act, the better director I can become."Links:Follow Tom On InstagramFollow OLIVE On InstagramWatch ORANGE NowSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/first-time-go/exclusive-content
Filmmaker Heather Landsman joins to discuss Michael Haneke's Benny's Video alongside a conversation about her latest film, the archival documentary The Best of Me, which chronicles Björk stalker Ricardo López through unvarnished, segments of his 1996 video diaries, created as a means of sharing his ideological convictions and his plan to mail the pop singer a letter bomb. The film shares some thematic connections with Benny's Video, exploring the potentially radicalizing effect of culutral ephemera, how mediation both reflects and proliferates the atomization of late capitalism, and how the distancing effect of the camera abstracts the boundaries between the incorporeal and the material. We begin with a conversation about The Best of Me, its creation, and how we should understand the case of the deeply disturbed López. Then we discuss Michael Haneke, his perspectives on violence and the media, and we take on some of the common criticisms of his work as overly didactic or sanctimonious. Finally, we look at Benny's Video, it's considerations of mediated existence in the late 20th century, and it prescience with regard to the digital unreality we all inhabit online every day in the 2020s.

Werner Herzog deals in ecstatic truths. But are they truthful enough to deal with the brutal legacy of slavery and colonialism? We discuss COBRA VERDE, Herzog's last collaboration with Klaus Kinski, a movie about the slave trade and the little freaks who kept it running. Topics include: producing a shot with thousands of extras, Herzog and history, and, weirdly, Michael Haneke. Watch the movie here or on Criterion, who are doing a big Herzog retrospective right now. Here is an article about the movie that was interesting that I dont necessarily 100% agree with. Matt's rec. Corbin's rec is in a weird release vortex right now but you'll be able to see it soon. Ryder recommends a food. Our next episode is about EDDINGTON. You can watch it on HBOMax if you're so inclined. Have a wonderful week!

Österreichisches Kino hatte lange mit Vorurteilen zu kämpfen. "Feel Bad Cinema", langweilige Bildsprache, spröde Zugänge. Eine neue Generation von Filmemacher:innen nähert sich zwar weiterhin ernsten Themen. Aber mit frischen Blickwinkeln. Der Grazer Florian Pochlatko ist ein Aushängeschild diesbezüglich. Sein Spielfilmdebüt "How to be Normal and the Oddness of the Other World" lässt berührende Emotionen und wilde Visionen, Arthouse und Popkultur kollidieren. Pia Reiser und Christian Fuchs reden mit dem cinephilen Regisseur, der in Kinos und Videotheken aufgewachsen ist, aber auch über seine Einflüsse und Sozialisation. Eine Episode voller Leidenschaft und Filmfieber, inklusive Zombies, Videospiel-Verfilmungen, den X-Files und dem Erbe von Michael Haneke. Sendungshinweis: FM4 Film Podcast, 22.09.2025, 0 Uhr
In this episode, we dive into the unsettling worlds crafted by Michael Haneke, breaking down Caché (2005) and The White Ribbon (2009). We explore how both films use ambiguity, surveillance, and silence to unsettle audiences while revealing the hidden violence beneath polite society. From the mysterious videotapes in Caché to the chilling undercurrents of repression and cruelty in The White Ribbon, we discuss Haneke's critique of bourgeois guilt, collective responsibility, and the roots of authoritarianism. Along the way, we unpack the films' visual style, recurring themes, and the ways they challenge viewers to confront uncomfortable truths rather than offering easy answers.___________________________________Feel free to email at silverscreenvideopodcast@gmail.com with any comments or thoughts.

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
durée : 00:06:14 - Le Bach du matin du mercredi 19 mars 2025 - Notre Bach du matin est un Bach de cinéma. En 2001, pour son film La Pianiste avec Isabelle Huppert et Benoit Magimel, Michael Haneke choisit Bach au clavecin, un enregistrement de 1955 avec Karl Richter et Eduard Müller et le groupe de solistes de la semaine Bach d'Ansbach.
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.

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?

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.

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?
