Dear Times Film Critic

[redfiona99]

Michael Haneke is Austrian. Not Austro-German. He may have been born there, but that's about it. Unless you want me to make even more mockery of the "English" cricket team (i.e. the South African Second XI), you will stop this nonsense at once. I have also noticed that this random Germanising has only begun now that he's getting popular. I recognise this plot (see also: Mozart, who is also not German) and have alway objected to it.
