    "I wanted you to be present..."

    A married couple is terrorized by a series of videotapes planted on its front porch that may be the direct result from an event from years ago.

    REVIEW

    Gripping y...( read more)et subtle thriller that brings back the eerie joy in voyeurism through film. Adding his own paranoid vision to the classic detached cinematography, Michael Haneke spins a misunderstood web of class struggle, emotional repression, and stalker fear in the guise of this slow but effective whodunit. Though not the masterpiece some may claim this bold film to be, Cache effectively puts you into the increasingly tense atmosphere dealing with this French couple's mysterious "watcher". Many viewers might be turned off by the movie's indecision to make up it's entire mind for us, although the writer incorporates enough social and psychological insight to make the main plot take a back seat to the underlying themes that represent what is truly "hidden".

    Formally quite interesting plus good performances. I don't really get the hype about the last shot. I can't shake off the feeling that Haneke is taking some huge narrative shortcuts using the genre trappings, ie the surveillance shots. It's like the characters are manipulated thr...( read more)oughout the film by the director. Normally I wouldn't mind this except here Haneke is basically making himself an invisible character and taunting his characters safely outside the narrative just to get his point across and for formal reasons (the 2nd to last shot says it all about who's actually sending the videos). I think this cheapens the film's impact.

    Cache is full of amazing yet subtle moments and it fully requires audience participation.

    Tense and unsettling tale of the past catching up with you, with a nicely ambiguous ending. Little happens or is resolved which can be off putting. Certainly an enigma if not terrifically enjoyable.

    "The first great film of the 21st Century" - well, that's what it says on the cover of the dvd. I think this is the first sub-titled film for me, that seems to lose something in translation. According to the synopsis ("This utterly compelling psychological thriller..."), I feel...( read more) this didn't come across at all, perhaps that was something you sensed in certains tones of the voices etc as opposed to any visual content.

    This film was a disappointment to me, as I really was expecting good things, however it seemed like a bit of an anti-climax and had a very abrupt ending which I didn't understand at all.

    I was waiting for last awesome twist to happen but in never came. If I've invested time in a film like this one that's not okey.

    I wanted the (or at least more of them) answered!

    And why didn't they just put up a camera and film the guy filming.

    UPDATE: a few blog posts saves ...( read more)the film by explaining some clever allegories concerning colonialism etc.

    I can't see why some people say it takes a lot of time unfolding, I see it as a thriller from the very first minute.
    It is great, I kept hanging on the edge of my seat the whole movie always expecting what could happen on the next scene. It has so many themes to discuss like Fre...( read more)nch-Algerian relationships, family, and I've read the story trespasses the "fourth wall" and the moviemaker becomes a character itself. One of the best thrillers of this decade for sure.

    It unfolds like a great mystery and gradually becomes incredibly harrowing. I suspect this will be a bit too slow for most though. It's definitely creepy though.
