Movie Reviews of Cache (Hidden)
Movie Review: Frustrating and fascinating
Summary: 5 Stars
The comfortable lives of Georges (Daniel Auteuil) and Anne (Juliette Binoche), an upper-class French couple, are disrupted by the appearance of mysterious videotapes which show that their home is under surveillance. This becomes the trigger for Georges's guilty flashbacks concerning a boy who lived with his family when he was growing up, with tremendous consequences for his married life.
Director/screenwriter Michael Haneke's film frustrates many viewers with its inconclusive narrative. I was fascinated by the theme of guilt: how it can bubble just under the surface of our lives, its destructive power, and the influence it can have on others, including the next generation. I have come up with an explanation for events that satisfies me, and other viewers are invited to put together their own interpretations. It is a tribute to the richness of the film that it can support varying analyses. However, a film needs more than interesting themes to be a complete success; even when I was most disoriented by the narrative, I was riveted by the mystery at the heart of "Cache."
Summary of Cache (Hidden)
Academy Award?-winner Juliette Binoche (1997 Best Supporting Actress The English Patient) stars in CACH a psychological thriller about a TV talk show host and his wife who are terrorized by surveillance videos of their private life. Delivered by an anonymous stalker the tapes reveal secret after secret until obsession denial and deceit take hold of the couple and hurl them to the point of no return. CACH is director Michael Haneke's dark vision of a relationship torn mercilessly apart by the camera's unblinking eye.

Georges and Anne Laurent's (Daniel Auteuil and Juliette Binoche) enviable lives are terrorized by the sudden arrival on their doorstep of a videotaped recording of their Parisian townhouse. It's nothing but a long, unedited shot of the fa?ade of their house, but it's disturbing nonetheless. Soon another arrives, this time of the farmhouse Georges grew up in, and then another of a car driving down a suburban street, and a walk down a hallway to a low-rent apartment. Again the videos are benign but unsettling. Then the mystery becomes more threatening when they receive gruesome postcards depicting child-like drawings of bloody, dead stick figures. Georges believes he knows who the culprit is, but for reasons all his own refuses to let his wife in on the secret. Clearly more is hidden here than just the identity of their stalker. In Cach?, writer and director Michael Haneke skillfully, methodically pulls back multiple layers of deception, like new skin being pulled off an old wound. he masterfully fuses elements of his predecessors to create a film that is haunting and memorable. There is Bergman's fascination with the complexity of relationships, the suspense and lurking danger of Hitchcock, and the unique cinematic sensibility of Antonioni. In fact, the provocative final shot is practically a tribute to The Passenger--a lot of people will want to rewatch it many times to see what they can find in it (if, after watching it, you are still unsatisfied with the resolution, then watch the interview with Haneke in the DVD's special features for his insights). It's a film of great effect and intrigue. There are no easy resolutions, and the answers given in this mystery will only lead to more questions. --Daniel Vancini
