The Rebellion (1993)
Despite being a TV production, it is still very much a Haneke film and worth seeing for people who appreciate his cinematic style. Unsurprisingly, it is pretty bleak with a sad story about a wounded WW1 veteran trying to get his life together with the little means he still has, but gets caught in an unfair Kafkaesque system that has little room for the individual. The movies literary source material is apparent, with what I assume is passages from the book narrated by a voiceover. It does actually work reasonably well. The underlying theme here is distrust, with a post WW1 society that doesn’t have much respect or trust in wounded veterans.
