Variation

Directed by Michael Haneke.
With Elfriede Irrall, Suzanne Geyer, Hilmar Thate.
Austria, 1983, digital video, color and b&w, 98 min.

Haneke depicts the emotional story of an adulterous relationship between a journalist and a teacher. The film poignantly explores the difficult dynamics between people who love one another but still can’t keep from hurting one another. Variation has been described by its director as being closer to John Cassavetes than to Hollywood melodrama.
