Code Unknown

Director, Michael Haneke. France, 2001. 113 min.

CODE UNKNOWN brings four separate lives together on a bustling Paris street corner: Anne, a promising actress, her photojournalist boyfriend Georges, a young teacher of African descent and an undocumented immigrant from Romania.  Their divergent stories gradually unfold, showing that these seemingly unrelated lives have very much in common, including the struggle for love and acceptance in a society of judgmental stares and blocked access.
