Haneke's debut trilogy Der siebente Kontinent (The Seventh Continent, 1989), Benny's Video (1992) and 71 Fragmente einer Chronologie des Zufalls (71 Fragments of a Chronology of Chance, 1994), according to Wheatley, are art films which aim to be treated as intellectual products but insufficiently allow the spectator to become a moral agent engaging with
film content autonomously.
