Benny is a killer

by Paul Mercado

One of the most highly praised films at film festivals la.st year was EASTER Benny's Video. Written and directed by Austrian Michael Haneke, it is a disturbing look at the negative effects of TV violence. Depending on how you see it, Haneke will either seem like an FEAST! astute intellectual or a bitter old man shaking his fist at the TV genera- tion. The main character is Benny, a 14-year-old boy who is a direct Wednesday, April 7, 1993 product of the video age. He is also the product of affluent parents who provide him with everything he needs, materially. Potatoes, Benny is obsessed with violent images, in particular his home movie of Honey Glazed Ham served with Baby Carrots, Scalloped a pig being shot with a stun gun. Iced Carrot Cake and Small Coffee or Tea On one of his daily trips to the video store to rent horror movies, Benny meets a girl who is al.so fascinated by video equipment. Benny $4.29 invites her to his home, and ends up killing her using an animal stun gun. **«*«*« Haneke's greatest accomplishment in this fihn is the way in which English Style Fish and Chips with a Side Salad OR Coleslaw he strips this violent act down to its ugly reality: Benny has to re-load and Small Coffee or Tea and shoot the stun gun twice before the girl finally dies, and then must clean up the trail of blood left on the floor. Despite the brutality of the $3.89 scene, it is not nearly as explicit as most Hollywood films. Haneke is also effective in showing how video violence can de-sen- plus applicable taxes sitize children to reality. After Benny shoots the girl and hears her moaning in pain, he asks.

In Benny's Video, the viewer is and 3:30 p.m. - 6:45 p.m. hit over the head with reasons. Haneke aLso fails to humanize his characters, especially Benny. For someone who commits such an incomprehensible act, he is incredibly uncomplicated — he does what he does bccau.se he sees it on TV. He shows little after effects from the murder. After the first half of the story, the film becomes very sleepy and limps to its finish. Coven Thursday, April Ist, 1993
