  • Haneke’s Palme d’Or winning ‘Amour’ will open December 19th!

    The Cannes hit will open in prime Oscar season...

    May 30, 2012

    This year’s winner of the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival may not have been an unexpected one, but by almost all accounts Michael Haneke’s new film ‘Amour’ is a truly deserving one. Those of you who are like me are anxious to take a look at it and assess its Oscar chances, but according to The Playlist (here), we’ll have to wait until the thick of awards season, as it’s scheduled for a U.S. debut on December 19th. After the jump you can get a quick refresher on what the flick is about, but I know I can’t wait. Hanekse is always an interesting filmmaker, and this seems like something very different from him…

    The short plot synopsis from IMDb is as follows:

    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 an attack. The couple’s bond of love is severely tested.

    About Joey Magidson


    When he’s not obsessing over new Oscar predictions on a weekly basis, Joey is seeing between 200 and 300 movies a year. He views the best in order to properly analyze the awards race/season each year, but he also watches the worst for reasons he mostly sums up as "so you all don't have to". In his spare time, you can usually find him complaining about the Jets or the Mets. Still, he lives and dies by film. Joey's a voting member of the Internet Film Critics Association as well. Today the IFCA, tomorrow the world!
