The Cinema Guild is pleased to announce the release of 24 REALITIES PER
SECOND, a documentary film on Michael Haneke, director of "Caché" and "The
Piano Teacher," one of the most provocative and important filmmakers working
today.
24 REALITIES PER SECOND
"I always say that film is 24 lies per second at the service of truth or at
the service of the attempt to find truth." - Michael Haneke
Michael Haneke, director of such acclaimed films as "The Piano Teacher,"
"Time of the Wolf," "Code Unknown," and "Funny Games" is arguably one of the
most provocative and important of contemporary filmmakers. His most recent
film, "Caché" ("Hidden"), starring Juliette Binoche and Daniel Auteuil,
winner of the Best Director prize at the 2005 Cannes Film Festival, is one
of the best reviewed films of the year and has appeared on numerous critics'
top ten lists. 24 REALITIES PER SECOND is a compelling documentary that
provides a rare window into the life, ideas and work of the celebrated
auteur.
Directors Nina Kusturica and Eva Testor followed Michael Haneke for a period
of two and a half years. They accompanied him to film premieres and public
appearances, radio interviews and photo shoots; they observed him as he
scouted locations, directed actors on the set, and made final cuts in the
editing room. In between, on long train and car rides, Haneke spoke candidly
about his childhood, his transition to filmmaking, and his views on cinema,
discussing films that inspired him and his own work (he counts "The Seventh
Continent" and "71 Fragments of a Chronology of Chance" among his
favorites). What emerges in this insightful documentary is a portrait of a
dedicated filmmaker, a charming yet elusive figure in thrall to cinema and
the constant perfection of his craft.

"Michael Haneke is one of the finest directors working in movies today, and
