Michael Haneke is The Filmmaker, the one those aficionados of The Grand Cinematic Tradition have been waiting for to continue the work of Welles, Bunuel, and Kubrick. There are others. This filmmaker, Michael Haneke, with "The Seventh Continent" and his other films "Hidden", "The Time of the Wolf", "The Piano Teacher", "Code Unknown", "Funny Games", and others makes for a talent so brilliant and bright that I scarcely believe it. This incredible, incredible, incredible motion picture ostensibly about a girl that fraudulently claims blindness highlights what will ultimately become Michael Haneke's greatest focus: the tragedy of the middle-class intelligentsia.
People, I've seen thousands of movies, and I would sooner see absolutely no more movies for the rest of my time on this planet than never see a piece of work like "The Seventh Continent" again. This single movie, this one movie, is why the medium of film still exists so successfully. "Hyperbole!" you may think. Have you seen this film? I'm a loud, confrontational person and this movie shut me up for five days. Forget Matthew Barney; hang this film in a museum. I am floored, stunned, that this movie could be made. It will stun so many of you, as well, with its horrific honesty and truth. So should I never see a movie as amazing! God forbid! So should it ever happen!
