Sociocritical cinematographer Haneke plays with familiar themes in this drama about a rich French family in crisis, with the refugee crisis in the background. Featuring Isabelle Huppert.
In his latest movie, two times Golden Palm winner Michael Haneke (Amour, Das weisse Band) again proves to be a criticaster of Western society. Anne Laurent (Isabelle Huppert) heads a large construction company, which she takes over from her father (Jean-Louis Trintignant), who is suffering from dementia. The rich Laurent family lives on a large country estate in Calais, where the European refugee crisis is constantly tangible in the background. The generation gap and mutual tension put the constrained family relationships on edge.
