Michael Haneke on Amour


Michael Haneke talks about his new film, Amour, which premiered at Cannes a few days ago.  The theatre was abuzz with hushed whispers of "masterpiece" when the screening had finished.  Critics are saying that Amour is the favourite to come away with the Palme d'Or.  Such high praise can make me incredulous but with Haneke's body of work, I have no doubt this will be another impressive contribution to his oeuvre.

As a disclaimer, there are scenes from the film in the interview and he talks about the plot somewhat so if you'd like to try, futilely I might add, to preserve your tabula rasa don't watch.
