Right on! Funny Games is not without a certain artistry. An image of one [captor] idly channel-surfing with his lissome [captive] bound and gagged on a couch beside the large-screen television set has the bored depravity of an Eric Fischl bedroom painting. 

But for all the laughs it pretends to laugh, Haneke's movie is essentially founded on the programmatic denial of catharsis. "I want the spectator to think," he's been quoted as saying—although with regard to Funny Games, his hope seems as touchingly utopian as the notion that an illiterate might teach people to read. 

(In any case, the American audience whom Haneke seeks to address is less apt to see Funny Games as a critique of dominant cinema than an argument for personal handguns.)
