It remains unknown to Slothrop whether Haneke is way smarter than he is or whether Haneke has gruesomely mistaken obscurity for ambivalence. There are great moments in this film, yes, especially the scene about racial bigotry and lack of decency on the streets of Paris, and a director that wants his audience to be uncomfortable and to think is good. But thinking "I need to watch this again to make better sense of it and I don't think I want to" is not the kind of thinking Haneke had in mind. Babel did this better. B-
