No one will confirm or deny his appointment, and his attempts to approach and appeal to Castle officials are met with indifference, obstinacy, and bureaucratic red tape. K. has status but no position, two dolts for assistants, the forlorn barmaid Frieda as a fiancée, and arguments with everyone. An icy blizzard blows unendingly, immeasurable time passes, and K. trudges repeatedly back and forth, waiting for the smallest scrap of information or news from the Castle, that they have need of him, or at least recognition of his existence.DVD; NTSC; letterboxed widescreen presentation, aspect ratio 1.77:1; enhanced for 16x9 televisions.- Subjects: Feature films.; Fiction television programs.; Made-for-TV movies.; Television adaptations.; Video recordings for the hearing impaired.; Kafka, Franz, 1883-1924; Alienation (Social psychology); Bureaucracy; Castles; Dystopias; Man-woman relationships; Surrealism;

Disc one. [Feature] -- disc two. [Special features].Director of photography, Christian Berger ; editors, Nadine Muse, Monika Willi.Isabelle Huppert, Annie Girardot, Benoît Magimel, Susanne Lothar, Georg Friedrich, Anna Sigalevitch.Academy Award winning Austrian director Michael Haneke shifted his focus from the social to the psychological for this riveting study of female sexuality and the dynamics of control, an adaptation of a controversial 1983 novel by Elfriede Jelinek. Haneke finds his match in Isabelle Huppert, who delivers an icy but quietly seething performance as Erika, a middle-aged piano professor at a Viennese conservatory who lives with her mother, in a claustrophobically codependent relationship. Severely repressed, she satisfies her masochistic urges only voyeuristically until she meets Walter (Benoît Magimel), a young student whose desire for Erika leads to a destructive infatuation that upsets the careful equilibrium of her life. A critical breakthrough for Haneke, The Piano Teacher which won the Grand Prix as well as dual acting awards for its stars at Cannes is a formalist masterwork that remains a shocking sensation.MPAA rating: R; for aberrant sexuality including violence, and for languageDVD, NTSC region 1, wide screen (1.85:1) presentation; Dolby Digital 5.1 surround.Cannes Film Festival, 2001: Grand Prize of the Jury (Michael Haneke); Best Actress (Isabelle Huppert); Best Actor (Benoît Magimel).- Subjects: Feature films.; Fiction films.; Romance films.; Video recordings for the hearing impaired.; Man-woman relationships; Masochism; Mothers and daughters; Music teachers; Music teachers; Piano teachers; Teacher-student relationships;
