Code Unknown, 2001, Part I
Set in Paris, France, Anne is an actress whose boyfriend Georges photographs the war in Kosovo. Georges' brother, Jean, is looking for the entry code to Georges' apartment because he has decided he no longer wants work on his father's farm in the country and he is moving to Paris. The lives of these characters haphazardly interconnect with those of a Romanian immigrant begging on the street, Maria, and a deaf teacher of West African descent, Amadou. Spinning a web of family, nationality, culture, economics, and politics, CODE UNKNOWN is a splendidly complex drama from Austrian director Michael Haneke.
