Amour

Posted on March 17, 2013August 13, 2020 by Village Vidiot

  “Amour,” March 17, 2013, theater.  We both really loved this Best Foreign Film Oscar winner from Michael Haneke (“The White Ribbon,”. “Cache”). What are the limits of love?. When is what we call love wrong and destructive?. Amazing acting from Jean-Louis Trintignant, Emmanuelle Riva, Isabelle Huppert follows the crisis of love in action after Riva’s Anne has a stroke and enters into a horrific decline that is all too common When is Georges’ decision not to put her in a hospital or hospice not an act of love?. Huppert’s Eva can’t really know what’s happening inside her parents’ heads and hearts. It is sooooooo real. So common. Universal, beautifully acted, and so painful. One of the true dilemmas of our age. . What a line: “you are a monster, but so gentle.”
