Funny Games

A relaxing family getaway at the lake becomes a nightmare when two young men in impeccable white outfits appear announced. What starts small -- kitchen spills and bad manners -- quickly escalates to torture and murder, and family members find themselves held hostage in their own domestic hell. Haneke, whose career is built on chipping away at any bourgeois notion of a safe space, is at his best here; this intimate take on domestic terrorism was remade a decade later by Haneke himself, with an American cast, a tribute to Funny Games' lasting ability to quietly traumatize.
