#Bales2023FilmChallenge June 18: An #aquarium on #CleanYourAquariumDay

A middle-class Austrian family – father, mother and their ten year old daughter – live a mundane, almost ritualised life. There's work, school, social obligations. Stuff to maintain and food to prepare. Patients to see and fish to feed. Constant repetition begets chaos.

Haneke's examination of how the entire generation of people can be capable of atrocity or turn the blind eye to it is as complex as the history it is contextualizing. There are definitely the economical disparity and religious hypocrisy at play in The White Ribbon. But what's most striking in the film is the attitude of grown ups not accepting the possibility of 'innocence' not existing. It is chilling because this view can be applied to any time period. #michaelhaneke #austriancinema

Our #CriterionCollection moviefor this evening was #MichaelHaneke's 2000 film "Code Unknown."
The story seed is an incident that occurred on a Parisian street. The film is comprised of short single take vignettes centered around that incident's characters.
The vignettes are fragments that start and stop suddenly.
The viewer has to assemble these pieces into a narrative while filling in the empty spaces between them; a sort of cinematic Gollin Figure Test.
Highly recommended.
