Haneke on Funny Games

"I remember later with The Piano Teacher, when there was overwhelming applause and cheering, I was actually disappointed. 'I obviously didn't land any direct blows to the heart like I did with Funny Games.'
With Funny Games, people were foaming at the mouth, some with rage, some with enthusiasm.
When you make a film like that that's intended to provoke, a reaction like that is enormously satisfying because I provoke to provoke an insight."
