"Most
of Michael Haneke's films shock, not so much with their
violence, but with the cold and ambivalent depiction of that
violence. Haneke, one of Austria's most celebrated directors
(although he works in France), intends his films to be critiques
of European society and of American cinema." -
Ronald Bergan (Film - Eyewitness Companions, 2006) |

"Influenced by
Kafka and Bresson, Haneke's
austere, modernist style is elliptical and fragmentary in both
narrative structure and visual framing: scenes and compositions
show only what is essential to meaning." - Geoff
Andrew (The Director's Vision, 1999) |

"Films
that are entertainments give simple answers but I think that's
ultimately more cynical, as it denies the viewer room to think.
If there are more answers at the end, then surely it is a richer
experience." -

"Cheerfully wishing his audience a "disturbing evening" at a
London retrospective of his films, director Michael Haneke
insists that he is an optimist at heart, despite all of the
relentlessly bleak carnage and deeply disturbing imagery so
vividly painted and seared into the mind of anyone who has had
the uncomfortable experience of viewing his work." -
