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.

This Oscar(r)-winning thriller (Best Foreign Language Film, 2006) tells the erotic story of an East German couple whose every intimate moment is being monitored by the Secret Police hoping to learn information that could destroy their lives.

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.

In late-1944, propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels frees a Jewish drama coach to help Hitler deliver a morale-boosting speech to recharge the nation.

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.
