A police unit breaks into a Paris department and makes a shocking discovery.

It is the home of Anne and Georges – an elderly couple who have been supporting each other through the greatest challenge of their lives together, no matter the physical or emotional cost.

Michael Haneke’s most sensitive film – and an Oscar and Palme d’Or winner in 2013 – Amour refuses to pull any punches in his depiction of the ageing process.

Avoiding sensationalism in favour of empathy, this is deeply humane, profoundly moving cinema.
