Benny’s Video

Screening on Film

Directed by Michael Haneke.
With Arno Frisch, Angela Winkler, Ulrich Mühe.
Austria, 1992, 35mm, color, 105 min.
German with English subtitles..

The centerpiece in Haneke’s acclaimed trilogy on actual incidents of unexplained violence, the film tells the chilling story of a teenage boy who videotapes every aspect of his life. As he becomes desensitized to violent televisual imagery, his impulses become fatal in this refreshingly unsensational portrait of homicidal urges.
