the main focus of the movie was not directed to the victims.
This is a film that failed to blow my mind the first time I saw it, but I was watching it in less than perfect circumstances and I wanted to give it another shot. This time around I think I appreciated it a lot more. Firstly I think I got a lot more out of the film?s political ...( read more)
Although I may not always agree with the way Haneke does things, he has a way of framing shots and creating tension that is unparalleled. His theme of watching and being watched comes to a masterful denouement in this work.
this is a great thriller, one of a kind, this film using no typical thriller sound effect, in fact they didn't put any sound effect to this movie, but this movie hit me with greater impact than most thriller did, with that powerful and heartbreaking story, and a lot of questions ...( read more)
Decided that this deserved to be a 5 stars. Not going to review it again as I saw it a while ago. All I am going to say is that this is a masterpiece and if you have the patiance, you will enjoy this deep and meaningful film.
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)
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)
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.
I had high expectations for this movie, and at the end I felt let down. it feels that they left the ending ambiguous intentionally, because I didn't really belived the whole story, just doesn't make sense.
the strenght of the movie stands on some great performances by two leads...( read more)
WTF?!
That was my reaction at the end of the movie.
Along with that empty, depressed feeling.
"I'd like to speak to the man by the name of Georges Laurent."
I am well and truly flummoxed. Even after reading people's comments, things still aren't cleared up much further... So, I understand that there is a large metanarrative about Anglo-French relations, but this s...( read more)
"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)
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)
When upper-middle-class Parisian couple Georges and Anne (Auteuil and Binoche) begin to receive a series of increasingly disturbing videotapes that depict scenes and events collected from their lives, dread soon permeates every aspect of their existence. Eventually, Georges?s per...( read more)
My first Haneke film and I don't want to see another. He's the Spielberg of current continental European art cinema. He crawls up his own asshole just to take a sniff. I need to go watch a Pialat, any Pialat, to cleanse my palate.
This film is a triangular prism, the plot elements with at least three layers are the colors that are escaping. The film is damn creepy in its suggestions and satisfying in ways no other film can come close to. Michael Haneke's best film by a long shot - very unappreciated, easy ...( read more)
Michael Haneke's story about a family being watched, CACHE. The idea is pretty creepy as Daniel Auteuil and Juliette Binoche have videos dropped on their doorstep showing the almost total actions occurring right outside their front door. This puts quite pressure on their already ...( read more)
This film suffers from the same fault as Michael Haneke's other films: Michael Haneke is a dick.
This film only really had two memorable scenes, both of which were very unpleasant. I absolutely hated the sudden flashback to the horrible scene with the chicken. Otherwise, there is not much to recommend a film with such deep meaning that the viewer is bored rigid whilst trying...( read more)
Terribly anti-climactic. I was expecting a lot out of the ending but was left with a "...really? That's -- no wait, those are the credits?" moment.
AH well! I was underwhelmed.
Really frustrating and intense, but ultimately anti-climactic. This film was very shocking and disturbing and worth watching.
An important piece of art. Probably my favorite film of the decade.
There is something more to the abbrasive dispair of this movie that's actually quite beautiful.
Truly a French flick! Not much sound, not much dialogue and no ending..Haha..Still luv it..That's the art of watching French flick...Yeeyy!! Original idea though..
This is not your straight-forward American thriller or suspense. This is, without a doubt, a "European? film, that presents itself as a curiosity, as its premise is ripe with questions & hypotheses, but unlike its American counterparts, provides no easy answers. In fact, as I pre...( read more)
Cache is full of amazing yet subtle moments and it fully requires audience participation.
This movie was bizzare and creepy but never reveals itself fully. Kind of a disappointing ending but it kept me intrigued.
I have a newfound respect for the tension Haneke builds in this film. Watch it a couple times. You'll get it.
If you don't, you like Carlos Mencia or suck.
Such a waste of time, talent, work, money, etc. The director comes out and said that this story can be told in any country, well of course, 5 minutes in any talk show like Oprah will be enough. the rest as he said can be told in any survaillance camera. minute after minute figuri...( read more)
French! French! French!... need i say more... only french can make movies like this... so naked in its form, yet so engaging..
Las pistas solían ser positivas de acuerdo a las imágenes de la película, pero cuando aparecen los créditos quedé desconcertada, algo me faltó...
Interesting thought provoking anti-thriller. Disturbing, opaque and bleak.
my dear friend buy this dvd as a gift for me and when i saw it...it's really cache :/ complique...hiks..hiks..
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.
well umn just seen this movie 4 the 1st time n think that this is a good movie 2 watch..its got a good cast of actors/actressess throughout this movie...its a freaky movie 2 watch..i think that the director of this Art House & International, Mystery & Suspense, Drama movie had do...( read more)
