Movie Reviews of Cache (Hidden)
Movie Review: What do the privileged people do...
Summary: 5 Stars
Heneke's film is not easy to digest for the conventional viewer. A rich, privileged couple find themselves stalked and suspicions are raised all around. They are so relaxed and reserved in their life-style that this disruption creates no end of doubt between them...and yet, they're still stalked. What to do? Daniel Auteuil and Juliette Binoche are fine in their central roles. Developments happen, and a few red herrings are thrown in, creating a somewhat fun mystery. If you have the DVD, Mr. Heneke will explain it all, and he leaves it up to the viewer to what really happened. Not boring at all, if you pay attention. I've read some other reviews, but I just don't think they "got it". I enjoyed it a lot.Movie Review: MICHAEL HANEKE, OPUS 9
Summary: 5 Stars
***** 2005. Written and directed by Michael Haneke. Three prizes at Cannes. Georges is receiving videotapes of himself with his family. Soon he suspects Majid to be the man responsible for this situation. Like Jean-Luc Godard, Steven Soderbergh, David Lynch or Atom Egoyan, the Austrian director Michael Haneke likes to play with the images. Not the simple images found 24 times in a second on the screen but rather with the recorded images and the way to manipulate them. I found HIDDEN fascinating because, during each scene, I had to discover whether the point of view of the camera was objective or subjective. Highly recommended.Movie Review: Cache
Summary: 5 Stars
Austrian director and arch provocateur Michael Haneke crafts a compelling, suspenseful thriller in Cache, deftly suggesting the menace of global terrorism by locating it in the troubled domestic experience of an iconic nuclear family. Auteuil and Binoche are both superb as the couple ripped apart by a long-dormant secret that slowly bubbles to the surface when Georges confronts a horrific incident in his early childhood. Haneke really notches up the tension, relieving it (momentarily) in a kitchen scene that will literally steal your breath away. Intelligent, enigmatic, and shocking, Cache is can't-miss cinema.Movie Review: Cache should not be kept hidden if you are a serious cinephile
Summary: 5 Stars
This intelligent drama is an excellent study on the post effects of childhood shelfishness. On the surface this superbly acted film appears to be a top notch suspense, but Haneke purposefully takes advantage of the viewer's preconception of how things should unfold in a most subtle way. This film also depicts the inner workings of a family unit with remarkable realism and verve. Haneke is the maestro and this understated classic is thought provoking in a most unique manner. Cache is an allegorical film that complels from it's prolonged opening frame to the very end.Movie Review: the linear plot isn't the point
Summary: 5 Stars
I love the ending that isn't there. When the storylines aren't resolved, you become aware that they were not the most important things in the film for the director. Which makes you think of the other components that make up the film (character development), which is quite effective.
I also love the suspenseful camera work. A shot where the main character sits in a bedroom, waiting for his wife to enter is a particularly successful use of "nothing". He just sits there, the audience is looking at the door, and nothing happens. Except in your head.
