Benny's Video (1992, Unrated)
A haunting piece of art,Benny is like a neo-structuralist child of the remnants of Nazi youth.The repetitive violence he's self-subdued leads us to a powerful question,that of the worth of human responsibility. |

Funny Games (1997, Unrated)
Extremely sadistic and as a fellow film-buff said "a lot of people will either love or hate this film".Charming,for the two opposite sides actually apply to what Funny Games intented from the beggining.Get our utmost attention and make us discuss a very controversial subject,that of violence and unneccessary anarchy. |

Funny Games (2008) (2007, R)
A twist you'd expect and in the end..futile representation.I understand the situation here,Haneke remakes his exploding manifesto and besides Pitt's chilling appearance literally like Frisch's in the original,I personally believe it's another excuse for Hollywood to "commerciallize" a true auteur's idea giving him the opportunity to promote his already amazing film.Stick to independent american cinema and leave those bullshit Hollywood films and remakes to the popcorn audience. |
