This thesis explores how Michael Haneke practically uses directing and narrative techniques to strongly impact the audience in his films Funny Games and Caché. In this study, the term "violent approach" is defined to describe the use of techniques that strongly stimulate viewers, often evoking negative emotions. By applying neoformalist film theory and analyzing how Haneke uses the alienation effect, the study reveals how the director practically implements his violent approach. In Funny Games, Haneke subverts the thriller genre by breaking the fourth wall and manipulating the narrative to unsettle the audience, forcing them to confront their
tendencies to consume violence. In Caché, the use of surveillance footage and ambiguous storytelling together creates a disorienting experience that compels
viewers to question the illusion created by films and their role as spectators. This study demonstrates Haneke's primary strategy of the violent approach is by combining different film styles within a film to subvert the audience's expectations, and by utilizing the narrative and film style to create a coherent and powerful alienation effect.
