110 mins - Austria / Switzerland 1993 - Subtitles Director: Michael Haneke Starring: Arno Frisch, Angela Winkler and Ulrich Mühe Acclaimed filmmaker Michael Haneke’s disturbing film portrays the alienation of a young boy, whose experience of the world is refracted through the lens of his video camera and his television screen. Arno Frisch plays the 14-year-old Benny, who brings a girl home to his parents’ empty apartment where he commits a shocking act of casual violence. As with his later FUNNY GAMES, Haneke poses provocative and challenging questions about voyeurism and violence - both actual and imagined. “Quietly compelling and deeply disturbing.” Cine Outsider
