World Cinema maestro Michael Haneke's film is a devastatingly beautiful exploration of ageing, illness, and unconditional love. An elderly couple, Georges and Anne, face their saddest test when Anne undergoes a debilitating stroke. As Georges cares for her, their love is tested in the most painful ways. The film takes a raw look at how death is inevitable and also the beauty of love persisting through suffering without melodrama. Its senstive exploration ranks Amour among the most intense emotional films about love and loss ever.
