On a busy Paris boulevard, a youth
scornfully tosses a crumpled paper bag
into the outstretched hands of a beggar
woman.
This is the bond which, for an instant, links
several very different characters: Anne
(Binoche), an actress; her war photo-
grapher boyfriend Georges; his farmer
father and younger brother Jean, who,
contrary to his father's wishes, has no
interest in inheriting the farm; Amandou, a music teacher for deaf-mute children, and his family, who originate from Africa; and Maria a Romanian immigrant.

Written and directed by Michael Haneke, one of modern cinema's most distinctive and ambitious directors, 'CODE UNKNOWN' is a complex film of powerful emotional force and a fascinating study of the subtle connections and barriers between people, social class, race, and the difficulty of communicating in the modern world. |
