Should I bother with the "relentlessly assaultive" films of Michael Haneke? They're showing at Harvard Film Archive...

...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?
