The Seventh Continent (Michael Haneke 1989) w/ Riley Greenwood
Felicia is joined by Riley Greenwood to discuss a film about a family who makes a questionable decision in Michael Haneke’s The Seventh Continent (1989).
We chat about how Haneke decision to not give the audience any answers but instead allows them to wonder why people make certain life decisions. Along with how the story is fragmented to disorient the viewer.
