Michael Haneke’s Funny Games
At the onset, I must say that while I watched Funny Games , I found myself victim of two lousy habits I’ve developed while watching films over the years. One, never reading on a movie before watching it. And this means a clean zilch that makes me vulnerable to what is to come, often lending to the clubbed-on-the-head effects that leave me...
