Benny is an alienated teenager whose disturbing experiences of the world are refracted through the lens of his video camera and his television screen.
With his parents away for the weekend, Benny invites a girl over to the family’s empty apartment, where a horrific act of violence unfolds.
Five years prior to Funny Games, Michael Haneke was already posing provocative questions about voyeurism and violence, and the making and consuming of film and television, with Benny’s Video – a chilling psychological horror from 1992.
Actor Arno Frisch gives unforgettable performances in both films; first as the title character in Benny’s Video and then as the sadistic Paul in Funny Games.
