>>465896
I hope you're trying to imply that Haneke IS melodramatic....

I've never seen Bresson, I'll have to make a note to. It's really frustrating to enjoy Haneke's work because his approach to film pretty much demands all of his fans to preface their discussions with some kind of divergant explanation from why they still like his films without actually getting to enjoy the the film in and of itself.

The Castle was the exception to this for me because he still got to expose tons of selfishness and open-endedness that he's always seeming to pop a boner over, but was still a thoroughly enjoyable film.

>> No.465910
