It was a general statement considering Haneke's oeuvre in full. Ranging from being a recurring motif to indirect reminder. Without stressing too much on self-serving, I'd say everything incl. "Glaciation trilogy" serves to mind. You agree?

"Funny games" would be an obvious exception.
Oh okay. I thought you were talking outside Haneke's work.
I have watched only Cache and this one. Have heard about the Glaciation triology, good things ofcourse. Wanting to watch "71 Fragments of the Chronology of Chance", espescially, what a title for a film!
Having made that point, one is also constantly aware of the external (director's ?) hand in the scheme, hitherto unknown, that makes it all the more interesting and ambiguous.
True.
Do you think "The White Ribbon" has such "external" or post-modern devices? I mean, there is every possibility that there could be. But unlike "Cache", which had strong indications, I think "The White Ribbon" is complete, it has every internal evidence we want to look for. Even if it had such external factors, I think its thoroughly disguised as a part of the fiction.
Agree, there are no explicit indications. The narrator's own exposition is a moot point and he admits so himself, "Many of these questions remain without answer." Fore-worded it well. So we'd have to make peace with lack of evidence on his part.
"The hurt locker" - not bad. The shaky handheld camera set up on different geographical spots, is nothing new. Handheld cameras serves the purpose of being up-close, shaky and could do off any moment, embodying the very essence of "bombs". On the other hand, a diff kind of action choreography would have suited the calm and composed skill-set required to put on the suit.
The ending was a let-down. I mean come on ffs !
Following - i guess its a very low budget movie,but why nolan made it in black and white? however i thoroughly enjoyed his non-linear debut :2thumbsup:
good twist thriller a la film-noir :D :thumbsup:
