[Review] Amour

Huh #longsigh I'm gonna reviewing Amour now. The reason for my long sigh is not because the movie was so bad, in fact it's so good and truthful, honest, and just like the old saying 'The truth is always hurt'. Let's waste no time, here's the review
*Warning this review represent my opinions only feel free to post yours

Aaaahhhh love, love, love, allll ya'll need is love (southern styles The Beatles).Okay honestly the sigh ya'll make at the end of this movie is not a happy sigh. It's not because this movie is bad, it's because this movie is not doing the one important thing what movie must do, it is 'Entertaining', it asks us to think and doesn't want to entertain us even for a tiny bit.Maybe some of you still confused on what I said before, but ya'll understand if ya'll keep reading. Have I said the director is Michael Haneke? I guess no, so yeah he's the director and he won palme d'or for the second time in a row with this movie, how cool is that?

The story is opened with firefighters check an apartment because of residents compalint only to find a corpse of an old woman. It stops and shows us a piano concert of a real pianist named Alexandre, in the story however he's Anne's student which played (marvelously) by Emmanuelle Riva. She along with her husband Georges which played (again, marvelously) by Jean-Louis Trintignant are upper middle class family, former music teacher. After the concert they come home, realized that someone tries to break through, and then do some small talk like regular couples do. Be wary that this is the end, ya'll (I mean we spectators) stuck in this very apartment until the end of the movie, so brace yourself. There's something fascinating when they come home and do that small talk, Geoege says you're beautiful to Anne. In their age, something like that is rare, hence even my parents never do those kind of things again, I think it's like a statement that they ARE really love each other.

The next day as usual they eat together, do small talks and then suddenly Anne fall silent, just like a robot run out of battery. When she react, she doesn't remember anything, and the truth is Anne got a stroke *sigh... I'm not gonna spoil the story so let's just say Anne will only got worse and Michael Haneke doesn't even try to hide how miserable Anne (and George) is. It's almost like cruel, there are tiny bit humor moments but mostly just ...... *sigh (again). The fact that 99% of the setting is in their apartment and not background music even for a tiny bit just *sigh (again).

Conclusion
Amour is a statement film, maybe your flesh will deterioting and then gone, but love will never cease to extinct, in the end only love that's left from their existence. No background music, because Michael Haneke doesn't want to console us with some relaxing music, he just wants the truth of age (and love) speaks for itself. What can I say again I'm just astonished, well playing from Emmanuelle Riva and Jean-Louis Trintignant, also Isabelle Huppert whose act as their child. Just heed my word, if you want to learn just abit truth of living a life, watch this movie but don't expect something that will entertain you. My own suggestion is watch this film, I just hope Michael Haneke will get what he deserves from Academy Award.
