Lemmings

TV SERIES 1979 1 SEASON

Overview

This two-part drama examines the fate of the generation of Austrians which came of age after World War II.

Regarded as the most significant of Michael Haneke’s early works, "Lemmings" contains incipient treatments of many of the themes he would later elaborate on in his theatrical features.

This production, originally released in 1979, has captivated audiences with its unique storytelling. As a Miniseries series, it brings a fresh perspective to the Drama genre, maintaining a strong viewer rating of 4.0 across its 1 season.
