Финальная картина «трилогии замораживания» трансформирует в 71 разобщенную сцену реальную историю об австрийском студенте, который в один прекрасный день вдруг в ярости набрасывается на первых встречных. 71 фрагмент выделяется отходом от расширенного исследования отдельной семьи, как это было в первых двух частях трилогии. Вместо этого, вспышка жестокости контекстуально помещается в некий срез общества: одинокий отец, пара с расстроенными взаимоотношениями, женщина, которая хочет усыновить ребенка, румынский иммигрант…

Главный герой фильма — юноша Бенни. Комната Бенни оборудована не хуже телевизионной студии, в ней ютятся дисплеи мониторов, телевизор, видеомагнитофон, видеокамеры. У подростка существует лишь одна страсть — бесконечный просмотр второсортных американских ужастиков и любительских съёмок.

This film, dramatizing Weininger's life, is an adaptation of the 1982 play Soul of a Jew by Israeli writer Joshua Sobol. Weininger's last despondent hours are depicted in a dramatic furioso. His whole life passes by like distorted images in a mirror. The young genius fights a desperate battle against time, his fellow men - and against himself.

В дебютном фильме режиссера Михаэля Ханеке показываются фрагменты из трёх лет жизни преуспевающей австрийской семьи. Как и у всех, она не обходится без хлопот и волнений — то у мужа проблемы на работе, то у брата жены очередной приступ депрессии, то дочь начинает прикидываться ослепшей. Ну а в целом жизнь их настолько однообразна и скучна, что они понимают — больше так жить нельзя. И принимают решение всё бросить и уехать в Австралию. Или ещё куда-нибудь. Главное, подальше от монотонности будней.

One of the main theses of the Marienthal study was that prolonged unemployment leads to a state of apathy in which the victims do not utilize any longer even the few opportunities left to them. The vicious cycle between reduced opportunities and reduced level of aspiration has remained the focus of all subsequent discussions.

Josef "Schmutz" (german for "dirt"), a security guard obsessed with duty and cleanliness, is given the task of guarding a decommissioned industrial plant. While maintaining his devotion to the authority of property right, the self-proclaimed "Representative of Ownership" is himself slowly losing his sense of reality.

Vienna 1910. Hans Trautendorffer, an 35 year old journalist bets with his newpaper chief that he'll be able to work as a farm worker in the country for a whole year. But his dreams of a healthy, quiet country life don't come true- at least not the way he expected it.

In the space of a short 65 minutes, a woman enters the luxury apartment of a wealthy man with an eccentric fascination for the female form and is paid both for her sexual favors and for lying there naked and letting him examine the aesthetics of her body. For most of the hour, as the concise narration of Marguerite Duras' novel on eroticism and aesthetics fills the aural gaps, actress Marie Colbin's form fills the visual gaps. But unless viewers consider the feminine eyeball or microscopic views of skin exotic and worth lingering over, the eroticism lies more in the imagination than on the screen. In fact, the female body lying on the bed, taken away from the spirit that animates it, is really just a corpse -- raising the question, exactly what is the "malady of death?"

This two-part drama examines the fate of Haneke’s own generation which came of age after World War II. The first part depicts the generational gap between 1950s teenagers and their parents while the second shows this same group of characters twenty years later as they have grown up to be dysfunctional and suicidal adults. Regarded as the most significant of Haneke’s early works, Lemmings contains incipient treatments of many of the themes he would later elaborate on in his theatrical features.
