metadata.dc.description.other-abstract: The research aims 1) to explore the philosophy of humanism appearing in Michael Haneke’s films, and 2) to analyze the narrative style of Michael Haneke’s films. This is a qualitative study applying text analysis to four award-winning representative films by Michael Haneke, released between 2000 and 2017. The selected films are as follows: 1) The Piano Teacher, 2) Caché, 3) The White Ribbon, and 4) Amour. The results found that: According to part 1 that examines the philosophy of humanism in Michael Haneke’s films, it was found that, six out of the eight key aspects of humanism philosophy are commonly displayed and discussed as follows: 1) a naturalistic world, 2) human value and dignity, 3) freedom of action and choice, 4) ethical conduct, 5) arts, culture and education, and 6) social justice. In terms of part 2 focusing on the narrative style of Michael Haneke’s films, the analysis of the narrative structure and basic narrative elements of each film revealed five conclusions as follows: 1) non-linear structures, slow pacing and open-endedness, 2) depth in character psychology and the philosophy of humanism, 3) a realism and distanced observational approach, 4) minimalism and simplicity in dialogues and settings, and 5) cinematic naturalism.
