Seventh Continent
Randi 2022-03-16 08:01:01
One of Michael Haneke's glacier trilogy, basically has no specific narrative, similar to "Jeanne Dillman", the first paragraph completely describes the life history of a middle-class, the second paragraph is again written by the mother when washing the car Out of control began to cry, and began to describe the subversion of the entire family in this suffocating life. A major destruction of the homeownership became a benchmark for anti-civilization and anti-social behavior. Most of the shots below the face portray the stern affluent life and the depersonalized humanity under the shackles of social rules as cold and lifeless, while the suicide after the destruction at the end is the most thorough and extreme struggle.

Anna Schober: Four days ago, at the beginning of the month, Georg started in his new position. It took him a lot to get there. You might remember that when he first started, his new boss didn't like him at all. But now he's made it. He brought new inspiration to the department. So when his boss fell ill with an intestinal problem and was off sick more than at work, Georg was asked to take over the department provisionally. His boss is retiring soon anyway. Georg's appointment as head of department is just a formality now. You have every reason to be proud of your son. Alexander is much better. He went on a cruise to Scandinavia which did him a world of good. He sends his regards. Georg's senior boss Dr. Breitenfels is coming for dinner tonight. This is our way of thanking him for his party two weeks ago where Georg's new position was unofficially confirmed. His boss is a real gourmet, so I'll have to cook something extra special. I'll try your stuffed duck recipe, Mother. Wish me luck.

Anna Schober: Have you gone mad?
Evi Schober: Have you gone mad? Why?
Anna Schober: Why? How come you say you're blind? Are you mad?
Evi Schober: I didn't.
Anna Schober: You didn't? Your teacher made it up? Answer me.
Evi Schober: I never said that.
Anna Schober: Look at me. Come on, tell me, did you pretend to be blind? Come on, tell me. I just want to know the truth. Come on. Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you. Is it true? Did you pretend to be blind?
Evi Schober: Yes.
