And if there was one title that could be applied to all my films, it would be Civil War – not civil war in the way we know it, but the daily war that goes on between us all. – Michael Haneke
Of course, we avoid death. To know something is inevitable is one thing. To accept, to truly feel it… thats different. – Michael Haneke
Films that are entertainments give simple answers but I think thats ultimately more cynical, as it denies the viewer room to think. If there are more answers at the end, then surely it is a richer experience. – Michael Haneke
To be perfectly honest, I think that as Im growing older, Im just growing more impatient. Ill be very happy if at some point people say, Michaels grown wiser and softer in his old age. But well have to wait and see what my next project is. – Michael Haneke
