Amour (2012)

Director:  Michael Haneke
Writer:     Michael Haneke
Cast:       Jean-Louis Trintignant, Emmanuelle Riva, Isabelle Huppert
Language: French

Georges and Anne are in their eighties. They are cultivated, retired music teachers. Their daughter, who is also a musician, lives abroad with her family. One day, Anne has an attack. The couple's bond of love is severely tested.

Unlike other Haneke films, Amour is very accessible for the audience. But that doesn't make it any less depressing. Like in his other films it deals with alienation and helplessness. It will make you think about many things including assisted suicide.

Rating: 5/5
