Ramadan Film Festival: ‘Funny Games’ Screening at Darb 17 18
Austrian director Michael Haneke’s controversial 1997 thriller follows an affluent couple,
their child and dog as they arrive at their lakeside vacation home. Settling
into their holiday routine, the family is visited by a pair of clean-cut young
men in tennis whites and gloves, who inexplicably turn ruthless and brutal,
forcing the family into playing their “funny games.” Haneke then plays his own
games, turning the audience into an active participant and radically shifting
the film’s narrative.The film is subtitled in English, and
entrance costs 10LE.
