A psychological suspense drama of the utmost rigor and originality.
Whether viewed as a political allegory or a domestic drama, this is the most accessible film yet from one of Europe?s very finest filmmakers.
The worst of all possible scenarios is when a director sets out to intentionally and patronizingly bore the audience and succeeds. There is no story here, the plot incomplete. It takes a stab at trying to implicate 'bourgeoise' life in ... in what, I'm not sure.
This film is not...( read more)
Cryptic, twisted and violent, both psychological and physically. To fully understand it you must decrypt some scenes.
A nice little film that goes places you never thought it'd go. A simple story told in a very interesting way, which leads the view to no particular conclusion. I love that the director doesn't want to sum up the film and give you nothing to think about or talk about once the stor...( read more)
The one word I can think of to describe this movie: taut. It keeps you curious throughout the whole 2 hours and, because it doesn't have a distinct resolution (although it is implied), it will keep you curious for long afterwards. Cache also has one of the most unexpected, sho...( read more)
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 e...( read more)
Excoriating, brutal, intense, unrelentingly harsh and cynical, and I love every second of it. Haneke is an epic genius.
I found this movie really easy to watch and very interesting. A few scenes were scary in a clever kind of way for example the glimpse of the child with blood on his face and then the scene with the rooster. The only thing negative about this film for me was i thought i understood...( read more)
Negative half a star for the lack of a conclusion. It was an excellent movie through and through though. Excellent acting, a well thought out plot, and it of all things seemed spooky in theory and execution. I'm so glad they didn't turn it into a cheap horror film, but I guess th...( read more)
My second favourite french film of the last few years. It's not for everyone, you either love it or hate it. But if you love it you REALLY love it.
Effective head-scratcher. Don't watch if you don't like clear-cut resolutions. A very deliberate, suspenseful movie with a creepy premise involving mysterious tapes of a couple's house, and then get more creepy from there. At turns frustrating, thought-provoking, and shocking,...( read more)
A very subtle and yet disturbing film. Haneke does a great job in creating suspense in what could be (potentially) a plausible situation--not an everyday situation, but one that everyone can relate to.
Yok, this film is disgusting full of self righteousness and pointing fingers. The actors are pathetic and the camera work boring.
To describe Caché is almost as difficult as watching and understanding the film itself. But the first thing to keep in mind is that Michael Haneke isn't exacly an entertainer. I knew that since La Pianiste, one of the most painfully depressing films I've seen to dat...( read more)
Pretty good french film. The plot was very interesting, but I was still a little confused at the end. I would definately watch this again, maybe I'll understand it the second time through.
i really like michael haneke's work. he always tries to bring the most painful emotions to the light of day and he explores the human nature in a magnificent, dark and obscure way. caché has many hidden secrets and as a viewer, i think i will need to rewatch it to get a better op...( read more)
eloquent and "geneous" on the theme and subject matter of the story. It never drowns in the deepest tomes of this story.
Very creepy and slightly odd thriller about a couple who receive a video tape through the post of someone watching their house and them. Their investigations reveal secrets long hidden but the ending leaves many questions unanswered. Involving, but a slightly frustrating film. Da...( read more)
It was going great, ready to be an easy 4.5+ star film for me. But the sender of these tapes is never revealed, which really pissed me off. I guess it might be fun for some to guess who sent them, but what damn difference does it make if you can never find out who's right.
i wish this was easier to follow. i think the director, in his interview, was pretentious and a nob.
Is it that hard for Haneke to actually go and make a solid statement about anything at all? I'm tired of all his gimmicks and tricks, i didn't loathe this as i did with The Piano Teacher and Funny Games, but like those two, i felt i wasted my time after the film ended. Go get a r...( read more)
Michael Haneke is not your average director, and this is definitely not your average thriller. Whether that's a good thing or a bad thing is a matter of opinion, and from comments I've read on Flixster, opinions vary widely on this film. The plot concerns a French husband and wif...( read more)
Brilliant and haunting. A slowly paced film that really pays off in the end. The performances are absolutely perfect from everyone involved.
no, really, maybe i'm stupid or retarted or something but i just don't get it why it's so good
"Caché" é bem mais do que um mero filme de suspense sobre espionagem residencial. Até porque esse tema já tinha sido incidentalmente tratado pelo estranho (e ótimo) "Lost Highway".
Mais do que a tensão de sentir sua intimidade filmada, a família protagonista se sente ameaçada ...( read more)
An absolutely amazing film. It doesn't offer easy answere and it is somewhat slow paced. But I loved that about it. It breaks down the conventional "thriller" and offers something so fascinating. Haneke's direction is unconventional when compared to most Hollywood directors and i...( read more)
Apparently, this is too deep and dark for me to understand and enjoy it.
An interesting moral study on guilt.
However, this movie has a very relaxed pace and would definitely not be for everyone (especially those with short attention spans).
This movie is strange. has no ending and i'm still wondering who send those movies.
This psychological thriller is a bit bland for my taste but the whole idea behind it makes you wonder about your own self.
so many details to look.. did i miss something from this movie?? someone tell me, please.. this feels absurd.. maybe i should watch Haneke's other films..
Riveting! This movie has an "In the Bedroom" flavour to it as far as its pace, so the scenes are subtle, yet significant and luring. I was glued to my seat for two hours, helplessly begging for answers.
Seen the original in french becauuse it was given 5 stars by everyone. Didnt understand a lick of it and im not exactly a stupid person as somebody already said you will want your two hours back.Horrific viewing well worth avoiding, I only gave it half a star for the gorey bit wh...( read more)
