Reviews
"The emotions of the victims are clear and complex -- their conflicts dominate our experience of the narrative as powerfully as all the devices telling us to look elsewhere for the movie's themes." —Lisa Alspector, "Chicago Reader"http://www.chicagoreader.com/chicago/movies/Section?oid=846987&path=/archives/1998/0798/07108b.html"The basic puzzle is why this sophisticated director chose this tired formula."— Stanley Kauffmann,"New Republic"http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/1083791-funny_games/?critic=creamcrop#contentReviews
Plot Synopsis
A German family of good status, husband Georg, his wife Anna and their son Georgie, are having a weekend holiday in a house near a lake. While settling in, a visitor named Peter passes by, who courteously asks for some eggs. However, the friendliness soon changes to confrontation, and as Peter is joined by his friend Paul, they kidnap the family and start a weekend of violence and torture.
