Movie Description:
In 71 Fragments, clips of TV news segments on warfare in the former Yugosla alternate between stories of urban disconnection. And whilecontinuing to approach filmmaking from an anti-psychological perspective, German-born Haneke assembles a united work from snippets of narrative, such asInge and Paul Brunner struggling with a newly adopted daughter,and a homeless Romanian boy wandering the streets of Vienna.Moreover, and as expected fromHaneke, 71 Fragments closes with an unforgettable cinematicpunch, which also stands as a presage of his "later masterpieces by virtue of both its styleand thematic core".
