Georges and Anne are in their eighties. They are cultivated, retired music teachers. Their daughter, who is also a musician, lives abroad with her family. One day, Anne has an attack. The couple's bond of love is severely tested. Amour – the undisputed second Palme d'Or for Michael Haneke – is a brilliantly performed and masterfully directed intimate chamber piece about the power of love in the face of mortality. This masterpiece is unquestionably the must-see movie of 2012. (French spoken)
