Amour



Michael Haneke : 2012
Love

Georges and Anne are in their eighties, a happily married couple living in a beautiful apartment in Paris. They are cultivated, retired music teachers. Their daughter Eva, who is also a musician, lives abroad with her family. One day, Anne suffers a stroke and is paralysed down her right side. Georges's love for his wife is stretched to the limit and their bond of love severely tested as Anne's condition worsens and she begins to fade away. Michael Haneke's tender, beautiful and uncompromising portrait is described as being his masterpiece and his most humane work to date. The film was awarded the Palme d'Or at Festival de Cannes 2012.
