It´s a Czechoslovak-Yugoslavian (more exactly Slovak-Croatian) co-production, directed by Croatian D. Vukotic. Poetic story about creation of a realm of children, where they move from the whole world. Really nice film. Info in Czech: http://www.fdb.cz/filmy/26792-sedmy-kon ... inent.html

Thanks BLT for resurrecting this. It doesn't make sense to me to make people click through to that thread, it was just the one surviving post.

Looks like that movie deserves its own thread (REQ?)

This thread is for http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0098327/

OK, move it to [REQ], I found it on RFF, and it may be really interesting for FLM visitors. http://www.rarefilmfinder.com/showfilm.php?id=23634
Probably better under Yugoslavia.

The eMule link in BLT's first post is to a film by German director Michael Haneke and doesn't sound at all like the one on RFF's pages.
The Seventh Continent is the first theatrical film written and directed by German-born auteur Michael Haneke (The Piano Teacher, Cache). This acute chronicle of a family degenerating into self-destruction is the first of a feature-film trilogy (concluding with Benny's Video and 71 Fragments of a Chronology of Chance) that centers on the intersections between media, alienation and violence.

Described by Haneke as a reflection on "the progressive emotional glaciation of Austria," The Seventh Continent focuses on George (Dieter Berner), a middling engineer, and his sardonic wife Anna (Birgit Doll). Unable to empathize with their daughter's compulsion for lying and uninterested in each other's emotional well-being, the couple turns their pedestrian way of life into a vortex of subjective malaise. And while a recurring ad for an Australian vacation stands as a signal of potential blissfulness, the couple's perfunctory melancholy eventually materialized into barbarism. More than a metaphor of hope and escape, The Seventh Continent is a meticulous dive into the postmodern disregard of affect - and a stark look at lives severed from feelings.

Yes, there are two completely different movies with the same title, and both seem to be on-topic! I have the Haneke's movie on DVD.

Created a thread under "Czech Republic", because we don't have a separate section for Yugoslavia. I hope it's OK.

Needless to say, I am very interested in this movie :onfire
