Time of the Wolf (2003)

£0.00

(Le temps du loup)


Country: FR/ÖST/GER
Technical: col/scope 114m
Director: Michael Haneke
Cast: Isabelle Huppert, Patrice Chéreau, Béatrice Dalle, Olivier Gourmet, Maurice Bénichou

Synopsis:

Some time in the near future a family flees to their house in the country following some biological disaster. Very quickly the mother finds herself and her two children at the mercy of old acquaintances and seeking refuge among a makeshift group of survivors at a railway station.

Review:

Making no effort to explain anything, and beginning and ending at an arbitrary point in the outer narrative, the film takes as its thesis what happens when civilized norms fall away. Some retreat into primitivism, others cling to moral decency, or else use their strength to impose themselves as leaders, or again wallow in self-pity. It's a Lord of the Flies-type brief but fits neatly into the director's oeuvre in a variety of ways.
