Review of Amour (2012) by Poewilson — 06 Feb 2014

Michael Haneke does not make films to entertain. He makes films to jar the audience to make you feel unease as you partake in what is quite often a tragic journey. Which Amour is to a tee. There is no moment of hope or redemption to be found in this piece, but in this tragic endeavour we are given the opportunity to partake in a selfless love, as if to say that tragedy is only as such if you allow to be, but beauty and tragedy are in fact one in the same.

I thoroughly enjoyed this film and would honestly give it a 9 in my opinion, however the Poe Scale says.

Acting: 2/2.

Cinematography: 1.5/2.

Editing: 1.
