Do you speak celluloid?, 28 May 2003
8/10
Author: Framescourer from London, UK

Haneke's film is about communication - its importance but also its difficulty. It is a string of episodes, rather like the formal arrangement of a musical suite, in which the dramatic momentum comes from the tension that interaction between characters causes.

I have not seen Juliette Binoche act better. She is at the centre of this film, her character in the self-referential sequences which necessarily examine the medium itself (the ritornello of a suite analogy). Gradually, in Altman/Short Cuts or, on a larger scale, Kieslowski/Three Colours formal style, characters are introduced that play out their own dramas. A whole range of wires get crossed - language, culture, class, religion, and of course love. A violent sequence on the metro is represented as if without blinking - very frightening indeed.

I'm glad of the ironic final sequence - deaf musicians performing to an audience unfettered by misunderstanding the fun they're having. It's a bouyant end to a 7.5/10, poetic film.
