Abridged Book Description[]
In this brutal and provocative "home invasion" movie - a subgenre traceable as far back as D.W. Griffith and familiar today from such films as A Clockwork Orange (1971) and Panic Room (2000) - Michael Haneke pushes viewers to the limit, forcing us to contemplate the senselessness of random violence, as well as our seemingly ceaseless fascination with watching it on-screen... There is no happy ending here, only troubling questions and the inevitability of future mayhem.
