...Funny Games? I had never seen the 1997 Austrian horror film directed by Michael Haneke, but after hearing he had directed a controversial shot by shot remake for North American audiences, I had to check it out So last week, I watched the film and all I can say was that I was in utter shock that this film was being remade (shot by shot...

2008-03-18 17:18:00 by rob humanick in The Projection Booth
...Funny Games as an example of cinema-as-thesis statement, and its a fitting analysis given how the film functions almost exclusively in theory, the result of connect-the-dot philosophizing that works less like artistic exploration than it does the notebook summary of a college lecture. As a commentary on class values and consumer relationships...

...Funny Games was never that well known Back in 1997 German director Michael Haneke made Funny Games, a disturbing and thought-provoking thriller that toys with the viewers place as a voyeur. In 2008, the re-make, also directed by Haneke, debuts with an all new cast and this time in English. The problem is that it is essentially a...

...Funny.) When he finds the singer, hes leaning against a wall in a dark hallway ala Joaquin Phoenix in WALK THE LINE. Then Tim Meadows pops up, and in his always perfect deadpan voice says, Dewey Cox has to think about his whole life before he performs. I was actually surprised when there was no generic dream-blur transition From here, we...

...Funny Games within a week. He warns that some might consider just a bit of what he's got to say here spoilerish in a very minor way. If you know absolutely nothing about the film(s) and want to keep it that way, skip down to the pointers to other reviews that'll be gathering over the next few days After years of hearing recommendations for...

...funny -- he's usually right on the mark. So let's flash back to Sundance 2006: I'd gone off to see something else, but when I met up with Childress for lunch, we had our normal conversation: "What'd you see, how was it, etc.?"
