Amour (Michael Haneke)

[Mysterious Dude]

Right, making their characters musicians for seemingly no other reason than to incorporate music in the way that the film does.

I think it also serves to demonstrate that Anne used to be an active member of society. I'm pretty sure the scene where Georges listens to a recording of Anne's playing is not just there for the music.

As well as the scene in which the successful former student of hers whose concert they attended in the opening scene visits the apartment, only to discover first-hand the extent of her condition, so he performs a piece for them on the piano she can no longer play. The irony that scene expresses would be difficult to achieve within the confines of their apartment without incorporating the musician angle.

[Grouchy]

This was a great film. Haneke makes those all the time. Nothing else to report.

[Ivan Drago]

Well, I saw it. Now I'm sad.

[Yxklyx]

I did not like this film at all.
