An elderly Parisian couple's life changes when the wife suffers a stroke. It won the Palme d'Or and the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.
Sinekatalog’s take
Michael Haneke follows an elderly couple as one suffers a stroke. Unflinching and tender, it is a harsh, intimate study of love and decline in a Paris apartment.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
