When I first envisioned Funny Games in the mid-1990s, it was my intention to have an American audience watch the movie. It is a reaction to a certain American cinema, its violence, its naivety, the way American cinema toys with human beings. In many American films, violence is made consumable. – Michael Haneke
And if there was one title that could be applied to all my films, it would be Civil War – not civil war in the way we know it, but the daily war that goes on between us all. – Michael Haneke
