The ice-cold way death can hit you in the noontime of a sunny day just when you'd never expect.

When I first envisioned &#39;Funny Games&#39; 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.

Quiet is peace. Tranquillity. Quiet is turning down the VOLUME knob on life. Silence is pushing the OFF button. Shutting it down. All of it.

I just want to get through each day without the need to shut my eyes for 10 minutes.
