Review of Amour (2012) by Janson J — 20 Feb 2013
Keeping score, that's one star for Riva, one star for Trintignant, and one star for Haneke's hubris in keeping his post-aesthetic fans fooled. The acting is excellent, even Hubbert (as always) - tour de forces all around.
Meanwhile, Haneke's hyperseptic, cold and clinically cruel tone adds nothing but formaldehyde. Haneke has already admitted that the title is meant to be ironic, revealing that rather than having no sense of humor (as he's been accused), he has a rather poor one.
