Hidden - Haneke (2005)

Hidden- Haneke (2005)

  • At the begining of the film there is complete silence with a static shot of an appartment, with various everyday happenings such as cars passing by and people walking-by etc.  This silence combined with the length of the shot makes the audience look for something that the film is based on in a way, and the length of the shot is at an uncomfortable level and could even make the audience feel nervous (?)
  • The storyline of the film is not entirley clear and some shots seem to be unrelated to others, although as the film is progressing the shots are in someway linking together and making more of a storyline.

  1. Isn't it good when a director makes us work hard? The length of shots and silences challenge our assumptions about what we consider to be acceptable.
