The Seventh Continent -The "you dont need to be scared, I won't do anything to you" scene

Inspired by a true story of a family that committed suicide. The film chronicles the last years of the Austrian middle class family.A family, that consists of an engineer, an optician (his wife) and their daughter, spends urban life only to have a sudden decision to destroy their lives without any apparent reason.
Simplistic in its approach, Der Siebente Kontinent effectively displays the flaws of a materialistic and money driven world, and the consequences these flaws have upon the lives of ordinary people. Owing much to the camera angles and editing, it is an interesting and engaging look at the modern world and its impact on its inhabitants. A powerful debut film, it lays the foundations for the acclaim and success Haneke now enjoys
