This Michael Haneke masterpiece is one of the best films I've seen in a while. It is a very suspenseful study of guilt, isolation and fear that is engaging from start to end. I highly recommend this movie.

If you haven't seen the film, it is spoken in French and it is about a small family who is continually receiving surveillance tapes of them and their home coupled with disturbing images.

Has anyone else seen this? If so, what are your feelings and interpretations?

I really want to see this, I heard it also has a lot to do with modern xenophobia. Is it available to rent yet? Also check out The Piano Teacher and Time of the Wolf, both Haneke films which are great. Piano Teacher is one of the better films from the last 6 years.

I thought it was extremely well done, but I just can't care about what a character did when he was SIX.

Apparently Haneke's next projetc is a remake of his own film, Funny Games. I don't really know what his motive is here. I've never seen the original, but I understand is pretty disturbing.

I watched "Funny Games" the other night. It's very well done. It could definitely be described as "disturbing".

Isn't this one about Algeria in some form or fashion?

g_v, you should probably put "spoiler" before that.

That must be the sharpest pocketknife in the world.

Great film.

I recommend this excellent interview with Haneke on the film: http://www.signandsight.com/features/577.html

awesome movie, just watched it last night

I think I actually liked it better than Time of the Wolf and Piano Teacher. Has anyone here seen Code Unknown?

watched it this weekend... good flick but could have been shorter. A little disappointed by the vague ending.... sure would like to hear the dialog he edited out of the last scene he was talking about from the editors cut.
