Amour Review
Every so often, you come across a film so powerful, so devoid of cinematic tropes, and so true-to-life that it renders your speechless. Now, mind you, I had an understanding of the subject matter before I entered the dark theatre, but never had I imagined that Michael Haneke, the director of such cold films as The White Ribbon and Funny Games, could make a film so heart-wrenchingly, unflinchingly honest and sympathetic. The hype is real: Amour is the best foreign film of the year.
