Amour

Real love is found in the everyday. When Anne suffers a stroke, her husband of many decades finds that everyday upended. Yet the love remains, and there is beauty in every exertion and adoration in the effort made to keep someone alive. Haneke’s camera has never shied away from the uncomfortable truths of human existence. Here, that discomfort is as celebratory as it is painful. This is emotionally devastating, yet life-affirming, filmmaking.
