    • Trivia
      Although Jean-Louis Trintignant has been retired since 2003, he only comes back to working on films if Michael Haneke is directing. He considers Haneke the greatest director alive and would act for him in any film (in both big and smalls roles). Michael Haneke also considers Trintignant one of his all time favorite actors (along with Marlon Brando).

    "I am stuck"
    Beautiful, tender as flower and " light" in terms of Haneke's style - I expected it to be hard & taught.

    Movie appeared to be the life story of few generations that are stuck in life. Somebody succeeds to leave successfully, somebody - not. Those who stuck do not suffer - they just lead the regular life - betray wife, indulge in sexual experiments, fight with spoiled kids, try to help refugees, solve probs at work & at home - regular lifetime routine.

    In some moments boring (by the way, as our everyday life) and in some extremely beautiful as the sea, movie is calm, tranquil and spectacular.

    We are all stuck and it's up to us to decide which direction to go - to go in or to go out.

    I would like to write about last episodes of the movie: touching, deep, white, bright sea and the seaside are reminding me Marcelle Proust and Balbec times of his novel...

    One can watch and be bored from the watching- but, probably, this is exactly the effect Haneke is aiming to achieve.
