From director Michael Haneke, THE CASTLE is both an engenious, perversely faithful interpretation of the master of alienation's novel, and a worthy companion to The Piano Teacher, Cache, and other films.

Two psychotic young men take a mother, father, and son hostage in their vacation cabin and force them to play sadistic "games" with one another.

Michael Haneke’s provocative study of emotional disconnection in the age of mass-media saturation is a metacinematic labyrinth in which the boundaries between actual and mediated violence become terrifyingly indistinguishable. Arno Frisch stars as the teenage son of wealthy, disengaged parents whose obsession with violent videos leads him to create his own monstrous work of real-life horror.

From the acclaimed director of Z and CAPITAL, Costa-Gavras presents a powerful and riveting account of the implementation of the Final Solution and the culpability of the Vatican in the extermination of millions in Nazi Death Camps.
