Director: Michael Haneke
Writer: Michael Haneke
Language: French
This is Haneke's effort it depicting travails of a mother (Isabelle Huppert) and her two children in a post apocalyptic world. In the beginning of the film her husband is murdered and their belongings stolen by a stranger in their weekend home. They are left to their own with a bi cycle to find a means to get to the city. They encounter a group of strangers in a railway station where they plan to stop a train which may or may not come. We see Haneke's take on how people would behave in such a situation where their education and upbringing does not matter.
I was reminded of Cormac McCarthy's novel 'Road' (haven't seen the film) and Cuaron's 'Children of Men' while watching the film. Time of the Wolf is very minimalist and depressing and won't be everyone's cup of tea. Isabelle Huppert had earlier collaborated with Haneke in 'The Piano teacher'.
Rating: 4.5/5
