FM3: Small scale research project

Catalogue: Auteur theory

Within the work of Michael Haneke, socio-political worlds of violent human suffering are often represented. In what way could this signify the director's auteuristic sensibilities?

FILMS:

Item 1: Hidden (Caché), written and directed by Michael Haneke.




Item 2: The Seventh Continent (Der siebente Kontinent), directed by Michael Haneke.
     Haneke's first picture, this film deals with how a day-in day-out lifestyle of monotony drains a nuclear family. This links with my study due to the film's bleakness and focus upon our average lives.




Item 3: Code Unknown: Incomplete Tales of Several Journeys (Code Inconnu), written and directed by Michael Haneke.




BOOKS:

Item 4: Michael Haneke, written by Peter Brunette.
