Nominated for:
Cinematography - Christian Berger

Also nominated for:
Foreign Language Film

This creepy, quiet little German film is the latest from Michael Haneke, infamous for other such eerie and violent flicks like Caché and Funny Games. The film as a whole is unsettling, to say the least. It's good... not sure if it is something I would watch again (yes, it's that creepy...) but I don't regret watching it.

Not for the faint of heart, thought there never actually is any violence on camera. I still feel a little ill after watching it, and while this may be due to the half pint of lemon sorbet I've just consumed, I'm going to pin that on the movie.

I'm a little put off by rotten tomatoes having this weird show thingy, but it pretty much sums up the piece.
