Reviews

Hearing Haneke is a call to hear and listen anew, to re-hear the cinematic world and our place within it. Walker places the sound track at the heart of Hanekes oeuvre, and the humanity unveiled through the listening act offers a critical challenge to the visual bias that still prevails in much of film studies. In each chapter, Walker poses questions of the sound track and for the reader. Walkers book is as compelling as it is (com)passionate about the representative sounds in Hanekes films, making Hearing Haneke essential reading. * Liz Greene, Senior Lecturer in Filmmaking, Liverpool John Moores University *
