Code Unknown at GFT
Sunday 15th and Wednesday 18 June, 2025
GFT, 12 Rose Street, G3 6RB
On a busy Paris street, a youth scornfully tosses a crumpled paper bag into the outstretched hands of a beggar woman. This is the bond which, for an instant, links several very different characters: actress Anne (Juliette Binoche); her war photographer boyfriend Georges; his farmer father and younger brother Jean, who, contrary to his father’s wishes, has no interest in inheriting the farm; Amandou, a music teacher for deaf-mute children; and his family who originate from Africa; and Romanian immigrant Maria. Haneke’s ambitious, complex and powerful Code Unknown is a fascinating study of the subtle connections and barriers between people, class, race and the difficulty of communicating in the modern world. It was nominated for the Palme d’Or at Cannes 2000.
Screening as part of our CineMasters: Michael Haneke season.
