Code Unknown: Incomplete Tales of Several Journeys (French: Code inconnu: Récit incomplet de divers voyages) is a 2000 French drama directed by Michael Haneke and starring Juliette Binoche.In Paris, one incident is seen through the eyes of several people — Anne (Juliette Binoche), a stressed actress thirsty for success; her boyfriend Georges, who is a photographer; Romanian immigrant Maria, who is not legally allowed to work in France and Amadou, a caring teacher who is sympathetic to marginalized people. All become swept up in racial tensions and legal issues that stem from a single, careless act of littering.

Here We Go Again!
 Code Unknown / int_6edc54d5
comment
Here We Go Again!: The film clearly implies a cyclical nature to the lives of the main characters. At the end: Georges is once again returning from a war-torn country. Anne once again does not answer her phone, as something she says at the beginning informs us, 'In the bath I can't hear the phone.' Maria is back in the place she was deported from doing exactly as before.

Double-Meaning Title
 Code Unknown / int_a4905771
comment
Double-Meaning Title: The reason for the whole chain of events surrounding the humiliation of Maria only occurs because Jean does not know the code for Anne and Georges' door. Besides that primary meaning, Code Unknown also seems to point to the lack of a key for the proper communication between different characters and ethnicities.

Leave the Camera Running: A trademark of Haneke. A couple of scenes drag on with little to no action taking place like the plowing scene at the farmland where the tractor leaves the frame but the camera keeps shooting the empty field for another 35 seconds.

Failure-to-Save Murder: Played with. Anne received a note that mentions the little girl in her apartment block being in danger. Yet she did not act on it and later we see Anne and the old neighbor attend the funeral of said girl.
