  • A Conversation with Michael Haneke

Michael Haneke discusses his extensive career as a filmmaker from his early German and Austrian television films to his most recent film, a remake of his own 1997 shocker, Funny Games. Moderated by Roy Grundmann.

  • Funny Games U.S.

    Directed by Michael Haneke.
    With Naomi Watts, Tim Roth, Michael Pitt.
    US/UK/France, 2007, 35mm, color, 108 min.

In this shot-by-shot remake of one of Haneke’s most disturbing works, an upper-middle class family is terrorized by two clean-cut thugs while vacationing in the Hamptons. In the wake of low-budget horror successes such as Hostel and Saw which use game play as gratuitous tools of terror, Haneke’s remake could not be more timely.
