Second part of Haneke's trilogy on violence in modern society, after "The Seventh Continent" (1989) and immediately prior to "71 Fragments of a Chronology of Chance" (1994). "Benny's Video" (1992) is another twist, also devastating in the dissection of the welfare society. For the most unsettling film is Austrian director, serving radical situations, limit, raises questions that are not closed.read more

It has been a while since I have seen this flick and I should probably re-watch it at some point. Anyway, even though it didn't completely blow me away like 'Funny Games', I thought the whole thing was still quite impressive.

"20.1 Funny Games oli pettymys ja tämä vieläkin enemmän. Haneke paneutuu tällä kertaa siihen, millaista on omaan maailmaansa sulkeutuneen teinipojan elämä. Benny tarkkailee maailmaa videokameransa kautta ja turruttaa emotionaalisen tunne-elämänsä katsomalla yhtäjaksoisesti pelkkää väkivaltaviihdettä. Elokuvan ensimmäinen puolisko on tyypillisen röyhkeää Hanekea, jossa katsoja pakotetaan seuraamaan vierestä kun Benny murhaa ikäisensä tytön ja tallettaa kaiken videonauhalle"
