Synopsis
One day of ORF broadcasting is used to create an experimental collage reflecting the horror of a bloodbath provoked by a young Austrian at a party.
Synopsis
A party in autumn 1990 turns deadly when a young Austrian instigates a violent bloodbath among friends. Michael Haneke constructs an experimental collage using footage from a single day of ORF (Austrian TV) broadcasts. Each segment reflects the time allocated in the program schedule, creating a stark commentary on the media's portrayal of extreme crime. The film juxtaposes the horror of the event with the mundane nature of daily television programming.
