One of the most gripping films about the dark side of human nature
This is one of those I nearly didn’t watch (I thought it would be pseudo-intellectual drivel about the evil nature of video games) – I’m very glad I got over myself and finally did watch it one day. What an amazingly done film! I’ve never seen such great acting in a German language movie (the film is Austrian – just to be precise); the script is full of surprises and the whole film has a tightness that is very rare; every little detail is in the right place.Michael Haneke always likes to challenge his audience, but even among his more controversial films ‘Funny Games’ stands out. The story follows the logic of a nightmare; uneasy tension gives way to unreal horror as you stare in disbelief at what’s happening on screen. This is one of the most gripping films about the dark side of human nature I have ever seen; pure cinematic entertainment and yet it goes beyond that (and stays with you long after you’ve finished watching). A masterpiece – 10 stars out of 10.

Indulgent Games
A couple of psychos terrorize a family at its remote vacation home. Frisch makes a scary villain, but the three actors playing the family are not very convincing, with the couple’s nonchalant attitude towards their son particularly odd. Haneke is not so much interested in creating a thriller as in showcasing his indulgent brand of filmmaking. Here the German director has his villain break the “fourth wall” with asides to the audience. While such a device is fine for comedy, it is wholly inappropriate for a serious film. There’s a scene where the screen is basically frozen for about ten minutes. And then there’s a scene with the remote control that defies explanation. Pure indulgence.
