Anne and her family arrive at their country house to find that it has been invaded by strangers. The ensuing confrontation is only the beginning of a painful learning experience. Nothing is like it once was.
What begins like a family story quickly becomes a collective drama. But it is also a legend, therefore the story of a sacrifice, the story of a saint.

A time for wolves ..

"Temps Du Loup" is probably Michael Haneke's most successful attempt at presenting his bleak outlook on mankind.

Vaguely set in a post-apocalyptic world, the film works both ways: a. at isolating various institutions and values (society, family, religion) outside of their normal environment, and therefore analyzing them more thoroughly; b. as an exercise in evoking beautiful imagery out of spartan and plain settings.

While the first is certainly no new ground for Haneke (the storyline is less complex than his previous effort, "La Pianiste", yet the scope is much grander), the second means that this is his most cinematic and elegant effort yet.
