Meet Anne and Georges: An Introduction to the Worlds of Michael Haneke

This season introduction explores Haneke’s films through the enigmatic bourgeois families who often form the core of his films.

  • Total running time 90min

The middle-class couples who populate Haneke’s films could be anyone. Disconnected from the world around them and unaware of their own privileges, Anne, Georges, Benny and Eva recur throughout his filmography, across countries and decades; consistent in their complacency and comfortable denial. Join season curators Ruby McGuigan and Jelena Milosavljevic, with guests including the author of the Caché (Hidden) BFI Film Classic, Catherine Wheatley, to discuss Haneke’s thematic preoccupations with personal and political dysfunction.

Tickets £6.50.
