Funny Games | 1997 vs 2007 with Ronald Short

This month me and my guest take a deep dive into Michael Haneke's Funny Games, from 1997 and 2007. Michael originally wanted his film to be shot in English and filmed in America but had to settle for German and French and an Austrian setting the first time around. He finally got what he wanted ten years later and I'm not sure it was worth all of the effort.
