71 Fragments of a Chronology of Chance (Michael Haneke, 1994)



71 Fragments of a Chronology of Chance (Michael Haneke, 1994)
Rating: 8.4

A meticulously executed film that shows, as the title would suggest, fragmented portraits of unrelated characters in everyday situations who are interlinked by a climactic final sequence. Haneke's lingering static long takes challenge the spectator as usual. He blurs the viewer's perceptions of the characters as he commentates on society as a whole.
