5.0 out of 5 starsFable for a post-apocalyptic world
By Dr. P. J. Edwards on 10 Sept. 2009
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
'Time of the Wolf' is one of Michael Haneke's less-heralded masterpieces and, in my opinion one of his best. The drama unfolds amid anonymous countryside in northern France where Parisians Anne (Huppert),her husband Georges and their two children have fled an un-named disaster.

The family's world unravels in a single brutal moment and the ensuing quest for sanctuary is a compelling human drama enacted with economy and understatement even when emotions are fierce and raw.

While we recognise how thin the veneer of civilisation can be when society breaks down the narrative of Haneke's film also subtley demonstrates the collective urge to organise and for natural leaders to emerge as a fundamental human trait.

Running through the film is a narrative thread, a post-apocalyptic fable, which informs the film's shocking but powerfully humane denouement.

The film is without music and the cinematography is artful but unobtrusive allowing the audience to focus on some superbly naturalistic performances including those of Huppert and especially Anais Demoustier who plays Eva, the young teenage daughter.

4.0 out of 5 starsLegend Of The Just
By Merlin's Owl on 8 Mar. 2012
Format: DVD
Being brought up with the threats of the Cold War has kept the idea of man-made apocalypse in our psyche. And when the laws and civilities of society are swept away we find the true nature of men - both good and bad. This is obviously an interesting and worthy area to explore be it with zombies, plague or nuclear war.
I believe that the title "Time of the Wolf" belongs to Norse myth and Ragnarok - the Twilight of the Gods. Norse mythology is one where even the Gods die.
Tied to this concept is the Legend of the Just. Which I must admit is new to me. This concerns the idea of a handful of people who throughout time have been prepared to sacrifice themselves through self-immolation to save mankind and rekindle the protection of the Gods.
I am not too concerned with comments that this movie is bleak - Apocalypse isn't generally known for its laughs. Some reviews find it frustrating that the disaster is not described but I found a clue in a drawing pinned to the wall...
There is much that is emotionally stirring in the movie: a relationship between Eva and the feral boy who dares not trust; and of course a mother who must protect her children.
There are intellectually interesting themes too: the culture of romance that has developed over male-female relations is stripped bare. Men are either protectors and providers or alternatively predators and thieves? At the desolate railway station the main characters end up, that reading is too simplistic.
Of course, when a society comes under pressure the first victims are foreigners and here I began to sense a theme to Haneke's work.
Those that see nothing in this movie may have been conditioned by the Hollywood dream-factory formula of love, trust yourself and redemption themes. Those themes that are recycled again and again and are warm and comfortable but ultimately don't unsettle or stretch your mind.

5.0 out of 5 starsOne of the Best Post-Apocalyptic Thought Provoking Ever
By Peter Colback on 21 Jun. 2012
Format: DVD
This is one of the Best Post-Apocalyptic sequences ever.
You may have to watch it a few times to get the important, small charisms out.
You know it is right but what would I do in that situation; we like to think we'd be our best and to be the best means moral and noble; but how well do we really know ourselves? To live on day by day like those in the Warsaw Ghetto before the Aktions is akin to this.
Real love? Not sure if I can put that into words but this film goes some way to put it into actions.
Brilliant Director; Thanks Mr Haneke!!

4.0 out of 5 starsInteresting and Unique
By S. K. on 6 Nov. 2010
Format: DVD
As someone who is on occasion drawn to a post-apocalyptic, dystopian setting for books and films, I can't say "Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome" pops into my head when I think of "Time of the Wolf". This film centres on a family in the midst of the aftermath of a serious but unspecified disaster, and takes quite a realistic approach to it's subject matter. The opening scenes are immediately arresting and the film unfurls at a steady rate as the characters' desperation palpably grows. The look of the film is quite dark and true to life, but nonetheless the cinematography is stunning in parts. All in all I enjoyed it and I'm intrigued to get my hands on some more of director Michael Haneke's work. The action may be too slow for some (see other reviews) but they can't all be shoot-em ups and car chases.

5.0 out of 5 starsTemps de loup
By wise old sam on 14 Mar. 2012
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
This is a great realistic account of a post appocalyptic world set within well off western society, swathed in symbolism, depicting how humanity copes when pushed to the edge of destruction. As with real life there is no real beginning or end it is your job to depict the hidden messages and meanings. This is no Hollywood dramatisation and don't expect it to be, it has charming tonal qualities that may cause some viewers to fall asleep, but to those more astute it proves an interesting watch. In light of recent events regarding Fukushima, Haneke's decision to hide what happened before the film becomes more prominent, you don't need to much persuasion to accept these circumstances as a potential reality.

5.0 out of 5 starsA thoughtful reflection
By Dr. Delvis Memphistopheles TOP 500 REVIEWERVINE VOICE on 4 July 2012
Format: DVD
Thought provoking, reflective, showing both the best and worst sides of humanity, stretching the characters across dimensions rather than compressing them into composites.

A world has collapsed, but not completely, the supply centres have been thwarted. A slow film for those requiring car chases and big bangs, this offers none, just the day to day struggle of a social world that has stopped rather than been obliterated. So no mad max stunts, or lord of the flies manhunts, other elements of both are gently integrated rather than obviously built upon.

Reminds me of the Survivors series of 1970's Britain, as we are led into the woods and barren fields of the countryside, as elements of the french round up emerge, along with paranoia.

The ending becomes another question, but given that Haneke asks deep psychological questions rather than states the obvious, the film has to be worked out to individual taste rather than the viewer being forced fed rusks to help with a smooth diet. This way the film lingers rather than evapourates.

A really interesting film, yet it's incredibly heavy and bleak. It's reminiscent of the writings of Schopenhauer or Nietzsche. Do not watch with a hangover.
