Michael Haneke, The Piano Teacher

Michael Haneke is becoming a favorite director. I watched The Piano Teacher last night, after having seen Caché a few years ago, and holding off watching another because I liked it so much I didn’t want to be disappointed. The Piano Teacher is excellent. Disturbing and excellent. But I don’t really think of movies that work (or anything else, for that matter) on any other level — there is an intelligence in something well crafted that is the only thing important to me. It is streaming on Netflix, and you can buy it here.

    Funny Games US is one of my favourite movies, probably top fifteen.

    I’m curious to hear what you think about White Ribbon if you get around to watching it.

    I think it’s next on my list.

    Funny Games and White Ribbon are also very very good.
