Michael Haneke RetrospectiveFUNNY GAMESWednesday, September 16th at 7:30 PM$18 Public | $11 MembersMichael Haneke’s most notorious provocation, Funny Games spares no detail in its depiction of the agony of a bourgeois family held captive at their vacation home by a pair of young men. In a series of escalating “games,” the sadistic duo subjects their victims to unspeakable torment over the course of a night. With this controversial treatise on violence and entertainment, Haneke issued a summation of his cinematic philosophy, implicating his audience in a spectacle of unbearable cruelty. (Austria, 1997, 109 mins, French, German, Italian | Dir. Michael Haneke)
