Plot:

Disturbing. Disturbing, disturbing, disturbing, disturbing. Disturbing. I'm not just talking about the creepy drawings and stalker-ish video tapes either; I'm talking about how it makes you realize that all of your actions - no matter how long ago you took them - have consequences. Big consequences.
This movie is really something else...it's amazing how there is no need for special effects of any kind...and how repeating certain things can really get under your skin. The actors are amazing in here, regardless of how well known they are/aren't.
But really...and the certain events in here are SO IN-YOUR-FACE....and you wonder what the hell happened....jump back and then tune in anticipation wondering if that was just now...what's going to happen next.
It seriously scared me, intensely. Just wow.
The sad thing was...when it ended...it stopped making sense...and I didn't get it. Maybe it's something that needs to be watched again and again to get it...but overall the atmosphere was just phenomenal to really make you think.
More review...later.
Haneke is a cinematic terrorist. Able to find terror from the simplest of situations, he brilliantly derives it from reality, politics and the threat of the home. We follow a well-to-do Parisian family, as they recieve anonymous cassette tapes, initially featuring a 2-hour surveillance of their house which later develops into something more sinister. Here's the dilemma: we never really do find out who films them. It acts as a MacGuffin to unravel Paris' unsavoury political past (as of course, they do prefer to get naked behind the curtains). With the effect of the tapes though, Haneke was able to involve the audience: one is that the people watching the film become the stalkers themselves, effectively breaking the fourth wall. The other effect was that the entire film sort of becomes a version of that mysterious videotape, especially highlighted by the intriguing last scene, where the devoted would be tempted to hit rewind just in case they missed something, like the movie's protagonists. That's basically why this film grabs you by the neck and never lets go... it's because you feel involved in a situation as disturbing as this. A perfectly calculated thriller, Haneke never disappoints.
How the hell does Haneke do it? A truly creepy, suspenseful psyco-thriller that is also a political indicment of First World colonialism
Brilliant! Juliet Binoche is a stunning actress who played this part amazingly. Hanake has an interesting but awesome directing style, steering away from western ideas which makes it uncomfortable for a western audience to view. Great acting, great cast, superb direction!

Incredibly over-rated. This is one of the most pretentious, art-house wannabe film's I've ever had the displeasure of watching. Yes yes we're all aware of the idea of the gaze, the ambiguity, the irresolution, the sense of discomfort in the viewer, bla bla bla. It's as if the director thought, "hmm i want people to be really confused and then really impressed because they were made to feel so dumb. I want people to say at the end,'Wow, I didn't get it. But that's why it's brilliant, cos it's art, you're not meant to get it'". PLEASE! Cut the crap.
Definitely one of the best films of last year. This isn't your average thriller, this is a film that needs the audience to pay attention extremely closely to figure out the storyline and twists. Brilliantly directed by Michael Haneke, and excellently acted by Juliette Binoche and Daniel Auteuil, Cache is a masterpiece, and is a must see.
Definitely worth watching.
