"Code Unknown"
2000
Directed by Michael Haneke

Juliette Binoche stars in "the most intellectually stimulating and emotionally provocative piece of European cinema of recent times" (Richard Falcon, Sight and Sound). The lives of several characters intersect around one confrontation, but the film also veers off to detail these very separate existences. Indeed, it is the divisions of class, race, and modern existence that really define this morally challenging work from one of the most debated auteurs of modern film. French, and scenes in several other languages, with English subtitles.  117 minutes.
