How 'Funny Games' Disturbingly Explores the Illusion of Cinema

Funny Games is a 1997 Austrian horror crime drama written and directed by Michael Haneke. A film that blurs the lines between fiction & reality and critiques the standards of plot development/structure within genre films.

CONTENT WARNING: Given the nature of the film's theme, this video discusses some heavy topics relating to violence, torture, death, and grief (over the loss of a child). Tread lightly. ❤️
