- Many of the feature films and television productions of screenwriter-director Michael Haneke explore the individual’s unsuccessful attempts in coming to terms with his or her innate autonomy. Many existentialist thinkers, including Jean-Paul Sartre in his lectureExistentialism Is a Humanism, suggest a kind of radical freedom that is implied by human subjectivity and that provides opportunities for creative individuality. Yet such freedom also poses serious challenges that may lead a person away from the path to genuine self-realisation and instead to a life of untruthfulness or inauthenticity, to a slavish type of conformism, or to a pathological form of life-negation.
