• Resumen

  • Over the past two decades, films such as Funny Games, The Piano Teacher, Hidden and The White Ribbon have harvested awards while giving the Austrian writer-director Michael Haneke a reputation - whether deserved or not - as a cool observer of human cruelty, weakness and perversity. But his new film Amour is something esle. A portrait of a French couple in their eighties, preparing for the end after the wife suffers a stroke, it is - Haneke acknowledges - his most personal and emotional film to date. It also won the director his second Palme d'Or at this year's Cannes Film Festival
