Blu-ray Review Michael Haneke: Trilogy – Criterion Blu-ray Review (1 Viewer)

[t1g3r5fan]

One of the most bold, original and uncompromising filmmakers to emerge on the world cinema stage in the latter half of the 20th century, Austrian filmmaker Michael Haneke is known for films that dare us to look into the darker half of human existence. Before entering feature filmmaking, he worked as a film critic and as an editor for a southwestern German TV station before becoming a director in 1974. With his debut film The Seventh Continent and two follow-up movies – Benny’s Video and 71 Fragments of a Chronology of Chance – Haneke set the tone for his provocative, no punches pulled style of films that were to follow. Criterion has gathered all three films – previously released on DVD by Kino – for their Blu-ray debut in this set.

Excellent review, Mychal! Great you took the time with this challenging and provocative set and wrote about it. Michael Haneke is not everyone's cup of tea, but his films linger longer than most.
