Disturbing but exciting

It was a Michael Haneke weekend.

We first watched Funny Games and I was pleasantly distrubed by the reality of middle-class kids and their need for excitement. We watched Benny's Video the next day...and again, I was delightfully shocked by the truth and reality of the story...

Yes, these movies are disturbing. But, I have to say, it has been a long time since I have seen a work of fiction mimic reality so well.

Michelle, these look horrible. You'll not be babysitting any time soon. Even if you do live in a posh nayboarhoodia.
