Beside giving a typical critic of bourgeois (like almost all of the Haneke's works) this also bringed a psychosexual criticsm to mother and daughter relationship. Freud once said: "Girls hold their mother responsible for their lack of a penis and do not forgive her for their being thus put at a disadvantage" and he also added that the duties of modern woman causes them to get in an ununsatisfied manner. You can see this theory in the proffesor, a very talented woman but also a frustrated psycho.

A fascinating film that contrasts culture and constraint with wild abandon and degradation, and doesn't go anywhere you expect it to. Haneke's cold precision renders some extremely difficult sequences almost impossible to watch with preconceived intent. Huppert, a superb actress in anything she does, is astonishing in a brave and controlled performance.

I dunno, it's a well-constructed slice of formalism so I get the acclaim, but I'm not sold on it myself. The last third in particular is a bit much. Good stuff from Huppert though.
