“You've no idea who’s filming and how?”
Overview
In Caché, (also known as Hidden), writer-director Michael Haneke (Funny Games, The Piano Teacher) casts Daniel Auteuil and Juliette Binoche as Anne and Georges Laurent, an affluent Parisian couple who begin receiving strange tapes containing surveillance of their own house (hello Lost Highway). When the tapes start arriving with violent and disturbing childlike drawings and footage that points to Georges’ childhood, he begins his own investigation into their origin, unearthing secrets of his own.
Why You Should See This Film
Winning Best Director at Cannes in 2005 among numerous other awards and accolades, Caché is widely considered one of the defining films of the ‘00s. Without a doubt one of Haneke’s most unnerving and uncomfortably resonant films, this eerie thriller examines the terror and paranoia of being surveyed by an invisible other while digging deeper to explore a collective guilt for ‘hidden’ colonial crimes. Shot in murky, sterile and utterly persistent HD video, Haneke blurs the line between the film and the videotapes within the film, aligning the viewer’s gaze with the sinister surveyor’s.
