Review of Caché (2005) by Danb. — 30 Jun 2006
It's fine throughout. Despite its very slow pace, it keeps a sense of creeping suspense. [***SPOILERS***] Unfortunately the end didn't really pay off. I think it might make more sense to someone who knows French history better, and their colonial experience with Algeria.
.. at one point there is also a news clip in the background, given some fair prominence in the scene -- it talks about the Iraq war, and also has some footage about Gaza. It's hard for me to say how or why the film tries to tie that into this.
Anyway. Really fine performances from the actors. But a let down at the end that leaves things way too unresolved.
