Austrian director Michael Haneke's 1994 film 71 Fragments of a Chronology of Chance is currently only available on Region "A" Blu-ray as part of Criterion's Michael Haneke: Trilogy, a three-disc set that also includes his startling 1989 debut The Seventh Continent and 1992's underrated Benny's Video along with a few old and new bonus features.

The following extras appear on Criterion's Blu-ray of 71 Fragments in Michael Haneke: Trilogy.
Michael Haneke's 1994 film 71 Fragments of a Chronology of Chance is a loosely experimental twist on his already well-established style of storytelling, one that still carries many of the same polarizing visual and emotional themes... and despite its lackluster reputation among fans, 71 Fragments' separate threads are interesting to pick apart. It's still probably the weakest link in Criterion's Michael Haneke: Trilogy, but the bonus documentary might make this disc the strongest, pound for pound. At the current price point, it's a pretty affordable set for interested parties.
