I fit loosely in that label as well, and this 'inevitable tragedy of the uselessness of our lives' is something I've been aware of most of my life, but seeing it presented in this way, an albeit very realistic and unflinching way, but without much of a story to go with it, failed to strike me as all that impressive or insightful or even horrific. It is a very good film, but I certainly don't think it's the type of challenging and innovative cinema that deserves to win and usually does win the Palme.Bonjour Tristessehttp://www.bonjourtristesse.net/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-556159764413551252.post-1892626404251139332012-10-21T02:16:21.254-07:002012-10-21T02:16:21.254-07:00pulled, torn, trampled on and smothered.pulled, torn, trampled on and smothered.Bonjour Tristessehttp://www.bonjourtristesse.net/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-556159764413551252.post-52710238798546595912012-10-21T02:15:38.546-07:002012-10-21T02:15:38.546-07:00I imagine this title would be a must have for any ...I imagine this title would be a must have for any local festival.

As someone who loved this film, I really appreciate your analysis. <br />I'm a post-Christian atheist (for want of better terminology) and for me Christianity (all religion) is primarily about cheating death - avoiding facing that which we are doomed to fear the most. (I know that is not all atheists view, but I have a soft spot for existentialism) For me, this film was about the inevitability of our death, the abject horror of our decline and the inevitable tragedy of the uselessness of our lives. The most chilling, desperate thing here, was the cameras unwavering eye. The camera sits and sits and sits, dragging us through the moments when, in life, we always look away. The response of all the "outsiders" to this couples decline was the response of all the young - sadness, desperation to "help" (take control) etc etc... but what ultimately can't be faced is that when we die, we die alone and we are forgotten. That is the horror story we all must live with, the one we all try to avoid and the one Haneke forces us to confront... he even makes us see decay. I found this horrific in its simplicity. It's a film whose images have become firmly planted in my psyche. <br />(I still think Holy Motors should have won however - HA!)Lisa Thatchernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-556159764413551252.post-69211781786110499372012-10-19T02:44:24.472-07:002012-10-19T02:44:24.472-07:00A heart strings pulling story......A heart strings pulling story......The Angry Lurkernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-556159764413551252.post-24514425716247438432012-10-19T01:01:03.570-07:002012-10-19T01:01:03.570-07:00Another film I really want to see.
