Haneke revisited. Overlapping scenes from Funny Games and the American remake reveal the thriller to be a formal imprisonment: Trapped by the director’s binding structure, the protagonists will not escape this time around either. We witness their descent into a horror that is twice as gruesome. Thrill turns to analysis and a reflection on the craft of filmmaking itself.
