It is also as gripping as a satanically inspired soap opera, a dynasty of lost souls.
This is a black comedy of pure sociopathy.

... a final shot that ranks among the most chilling of Haneke’s career, even as it earns the darkest of laughs. It’s as if the

Haneke’s dry filming style and geometrically balanced framing are, as always, a great pleasure to watch, creating not just
an unsettling atmosphere but revealing hidden meanings, along with Christian Berger’s crisp and businesslike lighting, Olivier
Radot’s stylish set design and editor Monika Willi’s near-perfect cutting.

Haneke est grand parce qu'il reste éminemment actuel.
