The Irish Times (Free subscription) | 11/13/2009
A decade ago, some thought him an upmarket video-nasty impresario. Now Michael Haneke is a much-praised European master, taking this year's Palme d'Or at Cannes for The White Ribbon. Haneke is not keen on explaining his films, he tells . So is this Austria-set movie about the origins of fascism? Make your own mind up, he suggests

Lessons of Darkness (Free subscription) | 11/12/2009
Michael Haneke tones down the admonitory audience haranguing with his Palme d'Or-winning The White Ribbon, a welcome relief that nonetheless doesn’t salvage the film from being another of the Funny Games auteur’s unpersuasively rigid portraits of man’s venality. In the...

Get the Big Picture (Free subscription) | 11/07/2009
We're just a couple months away from the acknowledged end of the decade (it's really next year, because there was never a year zero, so this decade actually ends in 2010), and that means we'll get Best of the Decade lists on top of Best of the Year lists.
