Amour (pronounced [a.muʁ]; French: "Love") is a 2012 drama film written and directed by Michael Haneke, starring Jean-Louis Trintignant, Emmanuelle Riva and Isabelle Huppert. The narrative focuses on an elderly couple, Anne and Georges, who are retired music teachers with a daughter who lives abroad. Anne has a stroke that paralyses the right side of her body.[4] The film is an international co-production among the French, German, and Austrian companies Les Films du Losange, X Filme Creative Pool, and Wega Film.
Amour premiered at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival,[5][6] where it won the Palme d'Or, making Haneke the second filmmaker to win twice consecutively.[7] The film garnered critical acclaim for its direction, screenplay, and the performances of Trintignant and Riva. It has been widely regarded by critics as one of the greatest films of the 21st century.[8][9] Amour won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, in addition of four nominations (including Best Picture and Best Director) at the 85th Academy Awards, among numerous accolades.[10]
