Le temps du loup (2003)
Anne and her family arrive at their country house to find that it has been invaded by strangers. The ensuing confrontation is only the beginning of a painful learning experience. Nothing is like it once was.
What begins like a family story quickly becomes a collective drama. But it is also a legend, therefore the story of a sacrifice, the story of a saint.

    Storyline

    Edit
    In an undefined time, the environment has been totally destroyed and now the water is contaminated and the animals have been burned. Georges Laurent travels with his wife Anne Laurent, their teenage daughter Eva and their son Ben from the city to their cabin in the countryside. On the arrival, they find that intruders have broken in the house, and one stranger kills George. Anne, Eva and Ben wander through the village asking for shelter and supplies for their acquaintances, but they refuse to help them. They reach an abandoned barn and spend the night inside. On the next morning, they meet a teenage boy and they walk together to a train station, where they find other survivors. Together, they wait for the train expecting to go to a better place in the middle of the chaos. —Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

    • Trivia
      As of 2017, this is the only film directed by Michael Haneke to have been screened in the official selection of the Cannes Film Festival without playing in the main competition. This is because that year's jury president, Patrice Chéreau, was part of the cast.

    Social collapse
    Hanneke is the only director of his kind. His world is depressing. Courage, kindness, love is of no use.

    But there is a glimpse of light at the end of this movie. Courage is rewarded from someone you didn't expect that from. Maybe Hanneke is getting old, but you think a little about Tarkovskij's "Ivan Rublov". Whatever happens, man begins to create again. Even in a total social collapse and it doesn't matter whether it's 15th century Russia or France of today.

    There is great power in Beatrice Dalle's acting here. European film needs her. Isabelle Hupert is tuned down. Not a big sacrifice for such a big artist.
