    CERN Council Chamber

     

    Directed by Michael Haneke

    Austria, 1997, 108 minutes

    Two seemingly well-educated young men approach a family on vacation. They are, apparently, friends of the neighbours, and, at the beginning, their true intentions are not known. But soon, the family is imprisoned and tortured in its own house violently, and the viewers are forced mostly to imagine and to share a certain complicity with the criminals. It might be some kind of game with the lives of husband, wife, son and dog, but why are they doing it?
