Leave your thoughts about Benny's Video.
| Cinematic ReflectionsDerek SmithSimilar to The Seventh Continent, this film's objective is to analyze and deconstruct the effects rather than senselessly guess their causes |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyThe second panel in Haneke's trilogy (preceded by Seventh Continent and followed by 71 Fragments) offers a chilling and haunting postmodern look at isolation, alienation and violence, with a critique of mass media effects on actual behavior. |
| Radio TimesDavid ParkinsonThe desensitising nature of popular culture is a theme that recurs throughout most of Michael Haneke's films, but rarely has it been more chillingly debated than in this almost nonchalant study of dysfunction and death. |
| Eye for FilmAnton BitelTo Benny, and to us, too (at least for the duration of the film) the mediated image - blinkered, manipulable, vicarious - is the 'reality' of choice. |
| New York TimesStephen HoldenWhat gives the film a chilly authenticity is the creepy performance of Arno Frisch in the title role. |
| Time OutGeoff AndrewAn unsettling if not entirely successful social-cum-psychological drama. |
| User ReviewZhanyi JHaneke's unique style shines in this psychological thriller, & as usual it's not what you can call predictable. It may not be Haneke's best work, but it's an essential. |
| User ReviewJustin Snoe av det jævligste og minneverdige. den sitter |
| User ReviewPavandeep SHaneke has a way of really making the audience feel uncomfortable. This film is by far his best and the most accomplished in how he intermingles video with film and plays with it and toys human emotions in the cinema. I personally was totally twisted in my mind absolutely watching this and I am saying that because because I am still twisted and have no definite term to say anything regarding this. The whole idea of the destructive impact of video and the life it encapsulates is just fascinating and I wonder how this is for someone involved in that business like Haneke. |
| User ReviewEmily K<3333 One of the best films made by Michael Haneke. |
