About Funny Games

A well-to-do family arrive at their lakeside retreat only for their holiday to be shattered by the arrival of two seemingly polite young men. Arno Frisch graduates from Benny’s Video to deliver a horrifying turn, his character’s actions implicating the audience through direct addresses to camera, questioning our appetite for watching violence as entertainment.

You’ll never watch horror movies in the same way again.

Screening as part of Complicit: A Michael Haneke Retrospective.
