Why we chose it

In 1961 the Paris police killed Algerian demonstrators and France denied it for forty years, and on that silence Michael Haneke built a thriller that won him Best Director at Cannes. A well-off family finds tapes of their own house on the doorstep. Don’t switch off until the end credits are over.

Synopsis

Georges, who hosts a television programme about books and lives comfortably in Paris, finds a videotape at his door holding hours of footage of the front of his own house. More arrive, wrapped in children’s drawings. Someone wants him to remember something.
