Michael Haneke Makes It Hurt So Good
"Why so glum, chum?" It's the first question I really wanted to ask 67-year-old Austrian filmmaker Michael Haneke, whose provocative social dramas are fueled by some of the bleakest, most distressing subject matter in world cinema today. Whether it's the sadomasochistic student-tutor romance in "The Piano Teacher," the relentlessly brutal critique of violence as entertainment in his meta-horror "Funny Games"...
