FUNNY GAMES (DVD) NAOMI WATTS TIM ROTH 2007 REGION 2

Funny Games\nDVD\nRegion 2\nNew & Sealed\nIn this exploration of our violent society and how depictions of \nviolence reflect and shape our culture, a middle-class family submits \nboth physically and mentally to the torture, violence, and death foisted\n upon them by two young, unexpected, white-gloved visitors at their \nvacation retreat near a lake.\nThis\n is not a film to sit down and watch with some mates and some beers. Nor\n is it comfortable family viewing. Indeed, it's not any sort of \ncomfortable. It's gripping, painfully intense and increasingly \nremorseless.\n\nThe basic tale - the harrowing of a family \n(mum,dad,son) at their secluded holiday home in the Hamptons - is \nstraightforward enough. The means chosen are far from straightforward. \nHaneke is almost entirely uninterested in action, preferring instead to \nconcentrate on a forensic examination of the emotions of the two adults \n(Tim Roth and the - here - wonderful Naomi Watts)as they are toyed with \nand.
