^Just watched that. Definitely caught the Haneke similarities but I don't think it was quite as thought out as his films tbh. The Dogtooth comparison I can see as well in terms of dark vibes, plus the way it sets things up without explanation is similar. I agree on the dark comedy element not being strong enough to call it one, even if there were a few parts that made me giggle.
I don't think I'd rate it as highly as you did, but after reading some of your analysis on your blog it made me rethink it a bit. It's definitely thought provoking, I might give it another viewing.
