When Ann, husband George and son Georgie arrive at their holiday home, they are visited by a pair of polite and seemingly pleasant young men. Armed with deceptively sweet smiles and some golf clubs, they proceed to terrorise and torture the tight-knit clan, giving them until the next day to survive.
Funny Games is Michael Haneke’s unsettling English-language reinterpretation of his own 1997 cult film, a stark and uncompromising reflection on violence and the audience’s fascination with it. Featuring Naomi Watts and Tim Roth, Michael Pitt and Brady Corbet.
Cinematography by Darius Khondji. Now available in new 4K restored version.
Press
«A stylish, darkly satirical horror-thriller, raising serious questions about Hollywood's sanitisation of violence.»
Empire
«As shocking and deliberately manipulative as the original movie.»
Variety
«Its brilliance and technique and ingenuity are in a different league from anything else around. ★★★★»
