Funny Games 2007
Funny Games ★★★ 2007 (R)
Haneke's shot-by-shot remake of his 1997 German art house thriller about two preppy 20-somethings, Paul and Peter (Pitt and Corbet), who descend upon a family, first as annoying guests, then as vicious sadists out for blood. Haneke had always said this movie would work better in America as social commentary, and he's probably right. Roth and Watts turn in harrowing performances as the tortured husband and wife, with Watts also credited as producer. Deliberately shocking and manipulative, which may validate its premise, but still, a nasty little flick. 112m/C DVD . IT GE FR GB US Naomi Watts, Tim Roth, Michael Pitt, Brady Corbet, Devon Gearhart; D: Michael Haneke; W: Michael Haneke; C: Darius Khondji.
