Similar to Krzystof Kieslowski's Polish film "A Short Film About Killing" (1988)?

Hi, did anyone who watched this Austrian film by Michael Haneke "71 Fragments of a Chronology of Chance" (1994) see any similarities between it and the acclaimed Polish film by director Krzystof Kieslowski "A Short Film About Killing" (1988) given how, SPOILER, in both films there is a bleak overall portrait of a country and its society (in that one Poland, here - Austria) and both films involve a depressed young male adult committing an act of murder?

Even if one film also explores (I've seen both films by the way!) the themes of capital punishment and whether or not death sentence is acceptable and "right" whereas the other looks perhaps at themes of media coverage of depressing and disturbing events, mental illness, alienation, desensitization, globalization, commercialism etc?

And do you think that to some extent at least, that Polish film was an inspiration for this one and Michael Haneke obviously saw, studied and admired that movie prior to making this one 6 years later?
