Seven films by the austere director who is a master at capturing the often bleak and none-too-clear aspects of the human condition. In THE SEVENTH CONTINENT (1989), middle-class Austrian life is deconstructed when a young woman pretends to lose her vision. BENNY'S VIDEO (1992) deals with a 14-year-old boy's obsession with violent video footage and the desire to be immersed in shocking images. 71 FRAGMENTS OF A CHRONOLGY OF CHANCE follows the aftermath of a brutal Christmas Eve massacre and its effects on a quiet community. THE CASTLE (1997) adapts an unfinished Kafka novel about the soul-crushing nature of faceless political systems. FUNNY GAMES (1997) explores true horror when a family is kidnapped and subjected to a horrible series of abuses, skillfully shot to evoke the disturbing acts rather than showing them. CODE UNKOWN (2001) is a Parisian-set film about coincidence and the lives of strangers crossing over with dramatic results. And lastly, the Cannes-award-winning film, THE PIANO TEACHER (2001) is an exploration into hidden sexual desire and its destructive potential. See individual titles for full synopsis information.
