| Inspired by a real-life shooting spree in Vienna on
December 23, 1993, Hidden director Michael
Haneke's 71 Fragments of a Chronology of Chance
addresses the various societal influences and
cultural factors that drive a young middle-class
man to commit such an act.
Haneke traces the lead-up to the event in 71
tableaux, weaving television news footage of
Michael Jackson and the wars in Somalia and the
former Yugoslavia with snapshots of the lives of a
Romanian street-kid, a pair of new parents, an
adopting couple and the youth who will commit
the crime, among others. Challenging narrative
conventions with his mosaic approach, Haneke
creates a compelling study of modern urban
disquiet.
