The paper discusses the possibility of a cinematic image which represents future catastrophes, while avoiding ideological entrapments and self-serving fantasies. Taking a Japanese ghost story and a brief note by Walter Benjamin as his dual starting point, the author first attempts to define the possible dangers inherent to the very idea of showing the future, the most important being the danger of the premature, cathartic discharge of the spectator’s anxiety in a sadistic/voyeuristic show. After discussion of the mechanisms of this discharge, the author offers an analysis of a positive example, namely Michael Haneke’s Time of the Wolf. According to the analysis, Haneke manages to avoid the traps by constructing reflective images that make the spectators watch themselves as they are searching in vain for the cathartic images of the catastrophe.

In the essay Michael Haneke. Mourning and Melancholia in European Cinema, its author concentrates on Michael Haneke and his most important films and their political and social contexts. Such historical phenomena as the dissolution of the communist system, German unification, terrorism, mass migratory movements in Europe, European unification and increasing homophobia and racism constitute a setting to her analysis. Seen through the theoretical framework of psychoanalysis and especially through Sigmund Freud’s notions of mourning and melancholia, Haneke seems to portray the psychological state of contemporary Europe and its fears and paranoia. After taking the reader for a Hanekian journey, the author concludes that the director himself may be a melancholic with delusions of grandeur and a narcissistic overestimation of his ability to reveal all the evils in the contemporary world.
