THE MICHAEL HANEKE COLLECTION

Michael Haneke has established him- self as one of cinema’s most original, daring and controversial filmmakers. This 4 disc box set brings together four of his most acclaimed, groundbreaking and successful work, including the £1.5 million box office hit HIDDEN. 'One of Europe's finest filmmakers' - EMPIRE HIDDEN (2005) - An utterly compelling psychological thriller starring Daniel Auteuil and Juliette Binoche as a couple who are terrorised by the arrival of covertly filmed videos of their home and family life. Desperate to establish the identity of the person responsible, Georges (Auteuil) embarks on a rash and impulsive course of action that has shockingly unexpected consequences. TIME OF THE WOLF (2002) - Isabelle Huppert and Béatrice Dalle star in Haneke’s nightmarish vision of a post-apocalyptic world in which society has completely broken down. This tense and gripping drama follows the gruelling odyssey of a family who flee the city for the hoped-for refuge of their country home - a journey fraught with danger across a land devastated by disaster. THE PIANO TEACHER (2001) - Screen icon Isabelle Huppert gives the performance of her career as Erika Kohut, a sexually repressed piano teacher at the Vienna Conservatory. But when one of her students attempts to seduce her, the barriers she has erected around her claustrophobic world are shattered, unleashing a previously inhibited and uncontrollable desire. CODE UNKOWN (2000) - A scuffle in a Paris street unites for an instant the lives of several very different characters. Haneke’s ambitious, complex and powerful film explores their various backgrounds and stories - intricate and moving studies of the subtle connections and barriers between people, class, race and the difficulty of communicating in the modern world.
