Inspired by the great classic "Mr. Hitchcock, how did you do it?" by François Truffaut, film critics Michel Cieutat and Philippe Royer have conducted extensive interviews with director Michael Haneke over a longer period, discussing each of his films – starting from his first television play "And What Comes After?" (1974) to "Amour," for which Haneke won the Palme d'Or in May 2012. Film by film, the director provides insights into his working methods and the central intentions behind his work. This volume distinguishes itself from essayistic publications and journalistic discussions by offering readers a systematic approach to his entire oeuvre from the filmmaker's own perspective. In this sense, it represents a fundamental contribution to the reception of Haneke's work.
