Code Unknown
German master Michael Haneke delivered a stunning puzzle with this drama that features incomplete tales of several journeys in the lives of several people dealing with life's struggles. After an incident where an African immigrant stops a French boy for tossing garbage to a Romanian beggar, several glimpses into their lives and their families are shown where each deals with some kind of humiliation. Haneke brilliantly captures staggering moments into the lives of diverse people that's heart breaking and unforgettable. The fragmented approach provides a bigger picture on the human condition and its ability to cope with the indignities of life. Humiliation was never captured on film like this before. The stellar ensemble includes the always dazzling Juliette Binoche, Luminita Gheorghiu and Thierry Neuvic amongst others with powerful performances. 1001 Films' coverage of films on DVD.
