...and the Museum of Fine Arts.
"Throughout Funny Games, the victims keep asking their tormentors why they’re doing this. Ever amused, Paul and Peter treat the question as another part of the game. The bloody TV screen suggests that Haneke is attributing the pair’s behavior to the alienating, dehumanizing effect of the media — in particular, cinema’s exploitation of violence."
OK...
Anyone?

Follow Ups:
well to see "Funny Games," which Haneke currently is remaking.
The original was startlingly real, with true scenes of horror not filmed in the Hollywood exploitive manner with blood flying everywhere and chainsaws grinding and all the more powerful for it.
The two protagonists are very matter-of-factly acted as seemingly nice, normal German young men and the family they victimize is typical, as well.
No easy answers, yet the film, unlike the current genre of slash/torture/mayhem, isn't afraid to pose some disturbing questions.
From the beginning scene where the family motors through beautiful scenery, listening to operatic arias, to the final scene at the boat landing, Haneke interweaves the deepest horror with unexpected beauty.
Not to be missed.
