Funny Games

Screening on Film

Directed by Michael Haneke.
With Suzanne Lothar, Ulrich Mühe, Arno Frisch.
Austria, 1997, 35mm, color, 108 min.
German with English subtitles.

In one of his most harrowing works, Haneke not only portrays upper-middle class society as weak and helpless in the face of danger, but disturbingly implicates his viewers in the unfolding of the violent events. His protagonists are a nuclear family who are visited by two cold-blooded thugs. One of Haneke’s most controversial films and one of the most provocative films ever made.
