Michael Haneke Quotes

A feature film is twenty-four lies per second.

Films that are entertainments give simple answers but I think that`s 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.

I like the multiplicity of books, because each book is different in the mind of each reader. It`s the same with this film - if 300 people are in a cinema watching it, they will all see a different film, so in a way there are thousands of different versions of Hidden. The point being that, despite what TV shows us, and what the news stories tell us, there is never just one truth, there is only personal truth.
