The Seventh Continent: Haneke takes another giant dump . . . .

Who sells Haneke film stock? It's a crime against humanity and should be punished. How a film maker can put a camera in the backseat of a car and run the car through a car wash THREE times in the same movie is a crime.

This is film is based on a true incident in Germany in 1988. It is about the dull, lifeless existence of a family of three that take extreme measures to change. Over an hour of the beginning is mostly a dialog-free exposition of nothing but boredom. Not being German the entire exercise in "desolation" was lost on me. How Haneke films nothing, as in "Cache", and gets away with it is surprising. It is in no way creative or compelling. Being an extreme fan of foreign film I find him tedious and underwrought. After this, "The Castle", "Cache", and "Games", I'm done.
