SUMMARY
This 14-disc Blu-ray collection contains Michael Haneke's entire feature filmography, many available on Blu-ray for the first time in the UK, plus newly restored TV works from the acclaimed director. This limited edition also includes an 80-page booklet with two essays by Haneke and new essays by Catherine Wheatley, Ian Haydn Smith and Haneke's longtime producer Veit Heiduschka, as well as 3 reversible posters.
From his Glaciation Trilogy to the shock of Funny Games and subsequent Palme d’Or-winning films The White Ribbon and Amour, Haneke has developed a style that articulately fuses social critique with a cinema of transcendent beauty in its precision, purpose and humanity. With formal disruption and sly reminders of artifice, as well as emapthy and dark humour, Haneke stares where others fear to glance. In his worlds, we are all complicit – even him, even you.
As well as 12 feature films and 6 TV movies, this set also includes several documentaries about Haneke, new commentaries, interviews, behind-the-scenes featurettes and more.
