Georges and Anne are in their eighties. They are cultivated, retired music teachers. Their daughter, who is also a musician, lives abroad with her family. One day, Anne has a stroke, and the couple's bond of love is severely tested.
Michael Haneke's Palme d'Or-winning portrait of an elderly couple after the wife's stroke is a rare film that critics and audiences agreed on completely, with a 93% RT score and 95 Metacritic. Jean-Louis Trintignant and Emmanuelle Riva do extraordinary, undecorated work. PG-13 at 127 minutes; for adults and very mature teens 16+ ready to spend two hours with mortality at close range.
