Product Description
Michael Haneke’s Funny Games is a harrowing and provocative home-invasion thriller that deconstructs cinematic violence with chilling precision. A bourgeois family’s idyllic vacation takes a terrifying turn when two polite yet sadistic young men arrive, subjecting them to a series of brutal psychological and physical “games.” As the film breaks the fourth wall, it forces viewers to confront their own relationship with on-screen violence, making for an unflinching and unsettling experience. Haneke’s masterful direction turns this controversial film into a scathing critique of media, horror, and audience complicity.
