Abstract

This article intends to make an audiovisual analysis of Funny Games (1997), written and directed by Michael Haneke, with special attention to the use of sound, through the music, dialogues and noises. It is an extremely rich route in film analysis to investigate the strategies of combination of sound and image, seeking to identify how the sound affects and impacts narrative film, and considering that is a film in which the use of various sonorous forms demarcates impactful moments, especially during scenes where the characters' speeches are rare or nonexistent. The methodology will focus especially on the analyzes and theories proposed by Michael Chion, Noel Burch, Bordwell and Thompson, Claudia Gordman, Jacques Aumont and Michel Marie. Other concepts identified during the analysis will be considered.
