What critics compared Amour to
In its way, “The Father” is as emotionally rigorous as “Amour,” Michael Haneke’s Oscar-winning film about aging in all its inevitable harshness.
The best film about the wages of aging since Amour eight years ago…
…movies like Michael Haneke’s Oscar-nominated Amour, a devastatingly bleak film about dementia…
There have been many films that have dealt with dementia from “Away From Her” to “Amour” to “Still Alice,” but we’ve never seen a movie handle the subject quite like “The Father.”
Add The Father to the list of profoundly moving films about dementia/Alzheimer’s: Away from Her, Amour and Still Alice.
…yet while watching his decline is sad, it’s never searing the way it was with the superior French film Amour.
He mines the recent past to mock and challenge the present in a way that is already reminding me of Michael Haneke ( Funny Games , Cache , Amour) , but without the chilly sadism – and with far funkier soundtracks.
Son distinguibles ecos con Hitchcock (Rebecca, 1940), Haneke (Amour, 2012), Polanski (Bitter Moon, 1992), pero su mayor influencia sigue siendo Anderson mismo.
