of the film is very typical of Haneke's style. Although it is a love movie, this movie is not romantic at all, but it is unbearable to watch. Simply put, this two-hour film is about the death of a woman.
——Indiewire
This is Haneke's most personal film in the past 25 years, showing the suffering of love through a couple's hardships together. The performance of the actors and the theme of the story complement each other, highlighting the theme of the battle between heaven and man. Even if the film doesn't win at Cannes, he's sure to satisfy fans of literary films with a life experience.
——The perfect performance of the actors of "Variety"
makes the film not look so sad, but Michael Haneke still uses the real old age, disease and death to make the ultimate consideration and test of love. Like his last Palme d'Or, The White Ribbon, this film is full of moral and conscience choices and torture.
——The Hollywood Reporter's behind-the-
scenes production
of "Love" has received good reviews from the media for its grim, truthful expression. "The Hollywood Reporter" called the film a love elegy: "The actors' perfect performances make the film look less sad, but Michael Haneke still uses the real old age, disease and death to make the ultimate consideration of love. And detection. Like his last Palme d’Or film, The White Ribbon, this film is also full of moral and conscience choices and torture.”
As early as October 2009, Michael Haneke revealed this new film Plan, and expressed hope that the French veteran actor Jane-Louis Trintignant and Huppert will jointly perform the film, telling a story about "the physical weakness and stigma brought by aging". But then he saw a similar Canadian film (presumably Sarah Polley's "The Willows" or Dennis Arconte's "Savage Invasion"), so he planned to start shooting in September 2010. The film was canceled by Haneke. The program was restarted in 2011.
