CERN CineClub - 71 Fragments of a Chronology of Chance

Wednesday 11 Mar 2015, 20:00 → 21:40 Europe/Zurich

503/1-001 - Council Chamber (CERN)

Directed by Michael Haneke

Austria, 1995, 100 minutes

Haneke’s articulate critique of the isolating effects of western society, the media and television in particular, is composed of an intricate series of unrelated scenes, culminating in an apparently motiveless act of violence.  Perfectly paced and executed, Haneke’s skilful weaving of these tableaux into a coherent and compelling whole is mesmerizing and strangely beautiful.
