AUSTIN FILM SOCIETY ESSENTIAL CINEMA SERIES:
THE FILMS OF MICHAEL HANEKE THROUGHOUT APRIL/MAY AT THE ALAMO DOWNTOWN
Haneke is, perhaps, the most controversial of contemporary European directors. His films, all of which determinedly make no concessions to the viewer, have both alienated audiences (being booed at Cannes) and won them over; he has established a position as one of cinema's important provocateurs, a concept lost in an era where cultural/political subversion is often seen as passe, or conceived with jaundiced, anti-humanist cynicism. Equally importantly, he has presented demanding philosophical questions in a formal cinematic language that has a bold and uncomprising nature to match its content.

APRIL 3 - 7:00pm: THE SEVENTH CONTINENT
"The Seventh Continent is a calm chronicle of hell...how commonplace people can erupt into despair and violence. Beautifully controlled, liberatingly intelligent... it establishes Haneke as one of the more remarkable young contempory filmmakers. The climatic half hour of this film ranks among the most truly terrifying in the modern cinema." (Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune)
