AMOUR
One of the most thoughtful, sincere and realistic discussions of death I've ever
seen on the big screen, Michael Haneke's "Amour" is a drama stripped of
sentimentality and filled with honesty. How does love prepare us for the
inevitable? How does the question about when the end comes fill our hearts
and our thoughts, especially when it comes to those we love the most?
"Amour" breathes in real time, presenting moments of contemplation and its
greatness lies in the quiet and unspoken. Glimpses of faces in the dark.
Such solitary moments are pure and brilliant. Mr. Haneke, who continues to
provoke here, does so to make us think and will us to a decision or conclusion.
Emmanuelle Riva is excellent as a woman who has been married for decades to a
man (Jean-Louis Trintignant) who loves her so dearly. This is a vital,
mature film. Released in the U.S. in December 2012. Two hours
and seven minutes. Distributor: Sony Pictures Classics.
