Funny Games

Continued from page 1

Published on March 13, 2008

Details:

Written and directed by Michael Haneke. Starring Naomi Watts, Tim Roth, Devon Gearhart, Michael Pitt and Brady Corbet.

That mission makes it an easy movie to despise but an impossible one to shake. The ultimate irony is that Haneke is very, very good at the genre he appears to hate: His anti-suspense measures prove far more upsetting than the usual thriller gear-grinding, which is why thrill junkies are already salivating over the movie's opening day, eager to watch Haneke launch his assault upon an unsuspecting megaplex audience. I might even show up myself, just to see the suckers flinch. That's entertainment.
