Metcalf's DVD Screening Room: "Funny Games"
What happens in "Funny Games" is horrendous. And it happens unexpectedly. And it keeps happening. But, you never have to look at it. You have to look at the people who do it and to whom it is done, and you have to live with their reactions. It's not that it is relentless, but it becomes so horribly inevitable, that you can neither turn away nor watch. But you must.
