Michael Haneke is one of Europe's most successful and controversial
film directors. Awarded the Palme d'Or and numerous other
international awards, Haneke has contributed to and shaped
contemporary auteur cinema and is becoming more and more popular
among academics and cinephiles. His mission is as noble as it is
provocative: he wants "to rape the audience into independence," to
wake them up from the lethargy caused by the entertainment
industry. The filmic language he employs in this mission is both
highly characteristic and efficient, and yet his methods are open
to criticism for their violence toward and manipulation of the
audience. The aim of this book is to analyze critically Haneke's
aesthetics, his message, as well as his ethical motivation from an
interdisciplinary and intercultural perspective. Contributors to
the book come from a variety of academic disciplines and cultural
backgrounds-European and North American.
