rewatched. still one of the greatest films ever made.

bro what. the. actual. fuck. this man really said “i love my family” and then spent the entire movie slowly turning into the fucking devil while talking about cremation like he was reviewing a wellness retreat. the camera was moving like it was also losing its fucking mind. the close-ups??? the mirrors??? the fish-eye shit??? KAREL???? bro had one conversation about “german blood” and immediately downloaded the nazi expansion pack 💀💀 and the way he genuinely thinks he’s being compassionate while doing the most horrifying shit imaginable????? insane. this isn't even a horror movie. this is a 95-minute psychological breakdown filmed by someone who clearly had beef with normal camera lenses 😭🙏🏻 i finished this and just stared at my screen like "🧍🏻‍♀️" cinema.

haneke doesn't break the fourth wall. he quietly removes it and waits for you to notice. by the end, i wasn't wondering who sent the video tapes, i was wondering why I needed someone to blame an absolute 10/10. 🙏🏻
