The interviews may unveil little fresh information, but the shots of Haneke in action offer up minor revelations.

Rated: 4/5

Derek Malcolm

London Evening Standard

Clips of Haneke at work and of the many controversial films themselves make this an intriguing 70 minutes, if a slightly scary one, particularly when he laughs.

Rated: 3/5

Patrick Gamble

CineVue

Offers an alluring snapshot of a pioneering filmmaker at work. Whilst we learn very little about his techniques or discover anything personal that might explain his pessimistic outlook on life, sometimes it's best to keep a little of the magic hidden.

Rated: 3/5

Martin Tsai

Critic's Notebook

But that perspective is in short supply as most of the film is little more than an assemblage of electronic press kits and DVD bonus features - which is not to say it's boring, but you have to be really into his movies to get something out of it.

Proper specialist film for someone who has seen most of his films. Unfortunately in my case, having seen 4 of his films still doesn't make this an interesting film. It feels like a long set of dvd extras.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars
