Yes, we couldn’t be more on opposite sides. What I saw was real pain, just like in Funny Games. And I wasn’t prepared for it!
Anyway, to the Haneke fans here, what is your favorite Haneke movie? I think mine would be Das weisse Band (The White Ribbon). To come to this conclusion, I had to watch it twice. I couldn’t believe Haneke is actually the writer. I thought the movie had to be an adaptation of a classic German novel, one that no one would dare to film.
