Der 7. Kontinent (1989)
Member Rating:  
Three members of a middle-class family are followed as their lifestyle slowly disintegrates. Nothing spectacular happens: it's just the dreary un-ending grind of a go-nowhere existence. The film's final scene emulates Fassbinder, as the threesome bid auf wiedersehn to everyone and everything in a gaudy, grotesque manner. It goes without saying that Der 7. Kontinent is not for everyone's taste. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

    This movie is a classic, a disturbing tale of suicide that escalates to mayhem, there is a 20 or so minute scene in this film that will leave you speechless, This is Haneke at its best

    An existential masterpiece, and a shocking first feature by Austrian auteur Haneke with a visual rhythm seemingly structured like a symphony. Discerning, intelligent viewers shouldn't miss this.

    The movie is dreadfully boring for the first hour, and then turns horrid when the characters set about to alleviate their (and the viewers') tedium. Watch paint dry instead.
