Talk:Amour (2012 film)

Moving this page to Amour (2012 film)
There is an interesting article by Milosz Paul Rosinski in Studies in French Cinema (15:2) about the relationship of the film with the work of French philosopher Jean-Luc Nancy entitled "Touching Nancy’s ethics: death in Michael Haneke’s Amour". It is read (Top ten page of the journal) and cited, so perhaps it is knowledge concerning the film and could be cited and referenced. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.214.174.148 (talk) 02:19, 5 September 2016 (UTC)

I'm moving this page to Amour (2012 film) as that is the title used in the English-speaking world. "Love" is just a literal translation sometimes used in brackets for the uninitiated--not actually part of the title. Film Fan (talk) 23:04, 5 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Wait for a consensus first. Please read and understand WP:BRD.  You have already made a bold edit (and then edit-warred to keep it in).  More than one editor has reverted you.  Now the change should only happen after a discussion.  Your unilateral decisions is not a discussion. Singularity42 (talk) 23:52, 5 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Looking around at various sources, it looks to me as if almost all English-language sources do refer to the film as Amour (example) so I support the proposed move. Paul Erik  (talk) (contribs) 02:35, 6 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Okay, so no objections then? Makes sense, as there is no valid way to object this. Let's waste time chatting about what we should do, even though it's crystal clear. Film Fan (talk) 02:13, 11 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I've moved it to Amour (2012 film), as there appear to be no objections. Paul Erik  (talk) (contribs) 02:28, 11 September 2012 (UTC)

German Article
The German article for this entry is much more detailed and parts of it should probably be translated (starting with the plot). --Accursius (talk) 15:49, 5 December 2012 (UTC)

Started translating from German to English. Should I remove some of the less detailed information which are older? Aikateim (talk) 14:24, 21 September 2014 (UTC)

Correct category?
Should this be on Category:Romantic drama films? Memasa (talk) 14:12, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
 * It's not really a romance film at all. So no.  Lugnuts  Dick Laurent is dead 17:37, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

Haneke
the article talke about Haneke but does not explain who he is (director?) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.143.118.191 (talk) 03:05, 13 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Well the intro states: "...written and directed by the Austrian filmmaker Michael Haneke..." Seems pretty clear.  Lugnuts  Dick Laurent is dead 08:41, 13 February 2013 (UTC)

Euthanasia Theme Criticisms
I added an edit to this article after I became aware to the heavy criticism this film is getting from anti-euthanasia activists and also discovering that the film bears a remarkable resemblance to a 1941 German film.

Some one removed my edits with this comment: Citations here are not enough to assert that "Numerous reviewers have singled out the film's euthanasia theme for moral criticism". These are bloggers on anti-euthanasia websites; I'm not finding evidence beyond that. Perhaps discuss on talk?

I have reinserted a slightly edited version of my original additions. I have added a reference to a news story from a major newspaper as well as keeping the original references. There are many, many similar articles about this film available to anyone who wishes to look.


 * Blogs are not reliable sources and should not be used.  Lugnuts  Dick Laurent is dead 10:20, 24 February 2013 (UTC)

Non-notable award articles
For awards were the ceremony or organisation doesn't have its own article, I've removed them from the article, but placed them here, for possible future inclussion.

Interesting facts
If smone knows how to do it, there may be added a part of the article about some interesting facts of the film. E.g., about the scene where Jean-Louis Trintignant is playing the piano – he’s playing, in fact, a Bach chorale that’s based on a prayer. It reads: “I call on you, I beseech you, Lord Jesus Christ, in my deep distress.” As Michael Haneke said, "You can interpret that religiously if you like. It’s really up to each individual spectator".

Move discussion in progress

Template:Expand German
From what I see, the template has been on the article for years. Time to remove it? –Cognissonance (talk) 06:45, 3 August 2017 (UTC)


 * Yep. Done. Thanks.  Lugnuts  Fire Walk with Me 07:28, 3 August 2017 (UTC)

Death of Georges?
As I recall, the film's opening scene includes a fleeting shot of Georges' body on a sofa. But our plot section doesn't mention that he has also died. I'm not sure how best to add it.... jxm (talk) 16:07, 31 August 2023 (UTC)
