A Companion to Michael Haneke With a new preface addressing the Academy award-winning film, Amour, this new-in-paper edition has established itself as the definitive collection on Michael Haneke—from his early work in television and theater, through his prodigious cinematic output, to his 2009 triumph at Cannes. A Companion to Michael Haneke brings together essays by leading film scholars, as well as interviews with the director himself, to probe the provocative and controversial themes that have formed the nucleus of Haneke's work—intergenerational dysfunction and social alienation, colonialism and citizenship, surveillance and pornography, mass culture and media violence.

Review Text

?The largest body of critical, theoretical, and historical work on Haneke so far assembled in one volume. The book?s thirty-two essays have been judiciously chosen and edited by Roy Grundmann, a first-rate scholar of against-the-grain cinema.?   - Film Quarterly ?The largest body of critical, theoretical, and historical work on Haneke so far assembled in one volume. The book?s thirty-two essays have been judiciously chosen and edited by Roy Grundmann, a first-rate scholar of against-the-grain cinema.? ? Film Quarterly?Vacant since the deaths of Fassbinder, Truffaut, Tarkovsky and Bergman, the throne of European cinema is now claimed by Michael Haneke. A seasoned festival favourite, this master of transnational filmmaking would not stop astounding audiences with his thought-provoking close-ups of families, nations, and hushed histories.  Roy Grundmann masterfully orchestrates this truly diverse assembly of insightful and up-to-date scholarship on Haneke. The volume not only brings together more than thirty scholars based in the US, Canada, France, Germany, Austria, and elsewhere, but also unites generations, from senior scholars to PhD students, for a uniquely interdisciplinary project.? ? Dina Iordanova, University of St Andrews ?Forcefully tackling Haneke?s moral and philosophical games, stylistic rigor, and critical success, the scholars of this volume shed definitive light on the art, film, and television works of Europe?s most fashionably retró director. This is post-auteurism at its best.? ? Giorgio Bertellini, University of Michigan
