Plot
A teenager obsessed with video commits a murder.
Sinekatalog’s take
Michael Haneke's chilling study of a video-obsessed teenager and a killing is cold and unflinching. It asks hard questions about images, violence and parental complicity with unsettling calm.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
