MICHAEL H. – PROFESSION: DIRECTOR is at once a survey, analysis and appreciation of Michael Haneke's radical cinematic work. Starting from Haneke's most recent international hit "Amour" (Golden Palm, Golden Globe, five Oscar nominations), Yves Montmayeur, a long-time follower and friend of the director, retraces Haneke's artistic development in reverse, all the way back to his first conceptual films. Montmayeur assembles film excerpts, interviews with the filmmaker and his actors and actresses, and background scenes from work on the set in to a playful portrait that serves as a congenial primer on the work and process of the now world-famous director.
