I've seen the original, not the remake. I think Haneke is just one of those European art house twit directors who likes the idea of torturing wealthy upper middle class people. I think that's why Haneke worked the ending the way he did. I have no interest in seeing the remake, though I do look forward to seeing clips of Watts' bondage scene in her undies showing up.
