71 Fragments of a Chronology of Chance (alternative title: Amok ) is a film by director Michael Haneke from 1994.
action
A seemingly matter-of-fact, cool sequence of 71 scenes separated from each other by black images. They have no direct causal connection, but they all precede an inexplicable catastrophe: At Christmas 1993 a 19-year-old student shot three people in a rampage in a bank branch in Vienna and then himself. The scenes show people whose fate changed in this catastrophe coincidentally unites, or those who come into contact with them - including a bank clerk, a gun thief, a childless couple and a refugee boy. They show it in unspectacular everyday moments and without psychological patterns of interpretation, but in obvious isolation and loneliness. The chronicle is also accompanied by current television coverage of the days and is approaching its seemingly random and inevitable end.
Production note
The film was shot on 35mm film .
Reviews
“A very objective chronology of the events, which presents the life of the individual participants [...]. A very cool film that does not provide any psychological explanation and causes lasting uncertainty due to its distant perspective. "
