CINE 386 Chapter Notes - Chapter 9: Juliette Binoche, Daniel Auteuil, Michael Haneke
Document Summary
Movie is about the denial and guilt mixed into the foundations of western prosperity. Darker scene - not as much sunlight; ominous feel. You only understand you were watching a tape when they rewind: they are being watched, and someone keeps sending them the tapes. Subtle scenes hinting at the fact that there might be a boy coughing up blood. Aunt julie georges" aunt (80) who loves george and never misses his show. Majid hashem"s son; the kid his mom thought of adopting him and who georges dreamt about. We are first introduced to the dad by his frontal face. We finally see her face close-up when she"s at home doing housework/clearing the breakfast table and answers the phone while her husband is at work. Although the wife does not have strong of a presence nor is properly introduced to the audience, she clearly has the real say at home.
