First and foremost this is a Michael Haneke film, a 100% Haneke film very similar in almost every sense to his previous films. Yes there is love in this film but also there is illness and death. It's an extremely hard-to-watch magnificent oeuvre and know that as happens with all...

A HUGE surprise, very positive surprise. Knew the highlights of the storyline but never imagined that a story like this one could be told as is done here; much less that story is being told in a film from Latin America. Think that have so much to say about this film that post will...

While Phillppe Claudel's debut feature film, Il y a longtemps que je t'aime (I've Loved You So Long), touched me beyond whatever I expected -especially when saw movie for the leading actress and not for knowing the director- his second film touched me for how natural and joyful his...
