When I first envisioned 'Funny Games' in the mid-1990s, it was my intention to have an American audience watch the movie. It is a reaction to a certain American cinema, its violence, its naivety, the way American cinema toys with human beings. In many American films, violence is made consumable. ↗

I just want real reactions. I want people to laugh from the gut, be sad from the gut - or get angry from the gut. ↗

Post-Modernism was a reaction against Modernism. It came quite early to music and literature, and a little later to architecture. And I think it's still coming to computer science. ↗

Horror is the natural reaction to the last 5,000 years of history. ↗
