I was more removed watching Hidden and found White Ribbon and Funny Games too smug and pedantic. La Pianiste stuns and this one....pretty close. So what's left for me to see...Code Unknown?

It features the usual heart-pounding scenes you might expect from the director, but i wasn't very impressed with this one, the post-apocalyptic setting draws some genuinely good moments from Haneke's bleak style but it feels too bare-bones in the end.

Ya I get it Haneke. Even in a post-apocalyptic setting the trapping of our culture racism, sexism, violence and isolation still hold supreme. But really, I mean really? This is shit. I understand that part of his style is allowing the viewer to fill in the blanks but he is so vague that I never feel attached to any of it. I love his other films but his is a lifeless, unimaginative, pretentious, piece of crap.

another near-masterpiece from Haneke. the most visually stunning of his films before 'the white ribbon'. his presentation of a post apocalyptic world is something Danny Boyle could only dream of. he investigates the gaps in society along the lines of race, nationality and gender. only some pacing problems hold the film back from a five star rating.

Take THE ROAD movie, smarten it up, add some better talent, and then bore it down about 40% and you have TIME OF THE WOLF.

Unbelievable that Haneke, one of our all time greatest filmmakers, can make such a boring, convulted, lifeless film. Still shocked...

Hypnotic anonymity slithers wonderfully throughout this film, creating an inexorable sense of the unknown - aiding Haneke's masterfully bleak style of backdrop. The acting of the children in this film is also really worthy of mention.
