Juliette Binoche, Thierry Neuvic, Luminita Gheorghiu. Originally produced as a motion picture in 2000. Widescreen (1.85:1). Special features: new interview with Haneke; introduction by Haneke; filming Haneke from 2001; Filming Haneke, a 2000 making of documentary featuring interviews and on-set footage of cast and crew; interview from 2001 in which Haneke discusses the filming of the boulevard sequences; new interview with film scholar Roy Grundmann; trailers; essay by critic Nick James.
Summary:
Composed almost entirely of brilliantly shot, single-take vignettes focusing on characters connected to one seemingly minor incident on a Paris street, Haneke's film, with an outstanding international cast is a revelatory take on racial inequality and the failure of communication in today's increasingly diverse European landscape.
