The Seventh Continent

Michael Haneke’s chilling portrait of bourgeois anomie finds him fully in command of his style, observing with clinical detachment the spiritual emptiness of consumer culture—and the horror that lurks beneath its placid surfaces.

Synopsis

Georg, his wife Anna and their daughter Eva lead a seemingly quiet middle-class life, but when Eva pretends she has become blind, something odd rises to the surface. During the next three years, the family alienates themselves from the world and each other until, suddenly, their lives self-destruct.
