Amour (out Feb 21) is a sad tale about the battles we face, both physical and mental, when we reach a ripe old age. It's a little drawn out but I was still impressed by the precise direction of Michael Haneke. The lack of music creates an uncomfortable vibe & the deliberate decision to not show certain events adds an element of mystery. Grade: B+.
