Taking its cues from the cinematic innovations of the controversial
Austrian-born director Michael Haneke, Funny Frames explores how a
political thinking manifests itself in his work. The book is
divided into two parts. In the first, Oliver C. Speck explores some
of Haneke's Deleuzian traits - showing how the theoretical concepts
of the virtual, of filmic space and of realism can be useful tools
for unlocking the problems that Haneke formulates and solves
through filmic means. In the second, Speck discusses a range of
topics that appear in all of Haneke's films but that haven't, until
now, been fully noticed or analyzed. These chapters demonstrate how
Haneke plays the role of "diagnostician of culture", how he reads -
for example - madness, suicide and childhood. Like several other
contemporary European directors, Haneke addresses topics considered
difficult when measured by the standards of commercial cinema: the
traumatic effects of violence, racism, and alienation. Funny Frames
is an incisive and original contribution to the growing scholarship
on one of the most intriguing auteurs of our time.
