If you're at all interested in Haneke's interest in violence and media be sure to check out Sidney Lumet's NETWORK (1976). The film looks at television and its audience's desire for violence and shocking material. It is a fascinating film that examines the extremes of violence and media. Even after thirty-five years NETWORK is still as relevant today, perhaps more so in a world of reality television. As far as commentary on violence and media, NETWORK is essential viewing.
