Between the street and the apartment: disturbing the space of fortress Europe in Michael Haneke

Abstract

AbstractThis article reads two of Haneke's French-language films, Code inconnu/Code Unknown and Cache/Hidden, as critiques of a fortress mentality in the new Europe. Examining Haneke's engagement with Neorealismi aesthetics of the ‘encounter’—as well as the tension between interior and street and sound and image in these films—I argue that Haneke uses filmic aesthetics to thwart his characters' efforts to close off space and avoid encounters.
