When Anne suffered probably her first stroke, it was new territory for both Georges and her. Their journey was portrayed grievously brilliant by Director Michael Haneke.
Emmanuelle Riva suited the Anne character very well. The way the couple greeted Anne's former student graciously for the first time after her hospitalization was both formidable and wistful. Jean-Louis Trintignant was the perfect Georges. The scene where he had to fire the second nurse for mistreating Anne was very heartfelt and I praise both Jean-Louis and Screenwriter/Director for it.
I can't say I was prepared for the ending; it was not unexpected but it did give me a small shock. I felt suffocated and paralyzed throughout the entire film. I felt pain, sorrow, shame, fear, and then pain again. "Amour" earned the five stars from every critic's review, the awards, and the Oscar. In essence, this film depicts the emotions intelligently but I will admit that I cannot bear to watch it again.
