Amour
Michael Haneke / FR, AT, DE, 2012 / 125 min.
As modest as it is poignant, Michael Haneke presents a portrayal of an older married couple forced to deal with the wife’s decline. Her husband cares for her with unquestioning love. Winner of a Golden Palm in Cannes. Chosen by Ivo van Hove.
Stage director Ivo van Hove: 'Amour is about getting older, the battlefield that getting older is, and the beauty that is only needing one another in this gradual disappearance from the world. A masterpiece.'
