Shivers
Late on in this ice-cold drama from casting-director-turned-writer-director Markus Schleinzer, a character describes the titular character as, amongst other things, “impatient”. By now we the audience has come to know Michael (Michael Fuith). That is, we know his routines; his day-to-day lifestyle; his attention to detail; his agonising PATIENCE. For the last 90 minutes we’ve watched him as he leads an unremarkable life around a remarkably evil secret: there’s a child in his basement, for use as a lover and a son. But no one really knows Michael – perhaps not even Michael himself.

This is challenging viewing. Schleinzer has the same objective eye as Michael Haneke (with whom he worked on The White Ribbon), and the same devious wit. He uses his simple images reflectively, making the observer (re)consider their own assumptions and prejudices.

What’s most disturbing about this film is not that it is wall-to-wall creepy, but how dreadfully normal everything seems. Outside the underground lair, the activities of Michael and Wolfgang (David Rauchenberger) appear on the surface to be those of an only child and a grumpy parent. We’re helpless observers in this quietly unfolding nightmare.

Whether Michael is any more than an extended exercise in discomfort is debatable. It doesn’t attempt to explore the psychology of its central character, as a film like The Woodsman does. It certainly doesn’t provide any possibility of redemption. But there’s an inarguable truth in the humanisation of this monster, and that’s what makes this film valuable – even if it is the furthest thing from entertainment you’ll ever see.

Yikes
First let’s say it, “Yikes”. This is a minutely-observed, low-keyed, dispassionate movie about the domestic life of a pedophile and the little boy he keeps captive in his basement. (Again, “Yikes”). But it is certainly not without wit, and a kind of wry “fly on the wall” style that keeps one engaged even though the proceedings are kept on a low boil intentionally. (Thank God). The phrase “the banality of evil”, comes to mind constantly, and I think it is not entirely coincidental that this is an Austrian film. The lack of histrionics, however, does not mean that the film lacks drama. Certainly not in fact it does create , at times, an almost unbearable tension. It has been compared many times to Haneke’s “Funny Games”, but in fact I find it far more subversive than that, as the Haneke film depends very much on a Brechtian “alienation” effect, whereby the filmmaker lets his audience know that he is intentionally manipulating them. “Michael” provides no easy “outs”, and is, to my mind, a far more disturbing, compelling exercise. Truly a shocker, and extraordinarily well-done. Bravo. (But it is not for the timid).
