Films that are entertainments give simple answers but I think that`s ultimately more cynical, as it denies the viewer room to think," explains Michael Haneke.

It’s voyeuristic. It’s sexually charged. It’s Hitchcock. It took him rather longer to find the genre he’d be most associated with. It wasn’t until The Lodger his third film that he ventured into suspense for the first time and it took him a few films more to realise it was what suited him best. Until then, he’d make films like Downhill, a riches to rags story that’s utterly unlike what we think of today as ‘A Hitchcock Film’.
