Haneke brings his characteristically unflinching precision and restraint to this tale of an elderly married couple confronted with pain and illness in the final chapter of their lives together. Like many of the director’s films, the title has a harrowing irony, but also draws from the sublime grace, shared intimacy and emotional richness of the extraordinary lead performances by Jean-Louis Trintignant and Emmanuelle Riva.

Both gentle and brutally honest, compassionate and unsentimental, this won both the Palme d’Or and the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. With Isabelle Huppert.
