It's great. It's my favourite Haneke.

Cool I might watch that tonight. Either that or L’eclisse

thanks for the recommendation, I enjoyed it quite a bit! I like The Piano Teacher more but that was great, and refreshingly optimistic

Over on The Current, @GarthGreenwell explores one of the quietest, most unassuming moments in Michael Haneke’s THE PIANO TEACHER (2001) and how it serves as a microcosm of his themes of control and sexuality: https://t.co/mZ3ssgYzu1 pic.twitter.com/i3W3BX2kCF— Criterion Collection (@Criterion) May 13, 2019

i pretty much hated the original funny games. might be the first time i have strongly felt much much smarter than a filmmaker.

The Seventh Continent was quite something as a first film

One of those directors some of whose work I hate (Benny's Video) and love (71 Fragments of a Chronology of Chance, but I haven't seen a lot of his biggest films yet.

Agreed. Stuff I hate (Benny's Video; Funny Games), stuff I love (Code Unknown; Cache; probably Time of the Wolf on re-watch), and really big ones I still haven't seen yet (The Piano Teacher; The White Ribbon).

No-one's yet explained to me why I should see Funny Games, a film apparently meant to implicate the viewer in the violence of spectatorship etc. etc. OK, I won't watch it and Haneke and I can both win.
I'm now disappointed to discover that the only scene with any energy in Benny's Video is actually a clip from Toxic Avenger.
