This film is really the definition of less is more.
A film that tells a story in a simple yet impactful way.
Full disclosure, This is my first viewing of a Michael Haneke and had no idea this was one of his first feature length films.
The story basically centers around a family that gets caught up in their mundane life, really becoming numb to reality.
The cinematography of this film is very unique, most of the time it is centered around objects in the world rather than framing the people in particular.
It shows the detachment of this family, how they really aren't the focal point of their lives.
The ending leaves on a very tragic note, that implies more of what happens than it shows or tells.
It's not for everybody, due to its fragmented style of filmmaking but it tells a compelling story nonetheless.
