Thoughts on Funny Games
http://thecuriousnatureofthings.com/ post/ 32158810
Thoughts on Funny Games It’s very strange that Haneke remade Funny Games, as a “shot for shot” remake no less. The actors have been swapped but most of the rest remains the same, and while I really loved the original, I had to keep reminding myself of that very fact to properly appreciate the new version. It remains a very good film — either version — but being remade does make Haneke’s points and assumptions more obvious and questionable. The main indictment of the film is that it’s recklessly violent and cruel, and Haneke himself claims it violates certain taboos of the acceptable in cinema.
