Review of Caché (2005) by Rory P — 22 Sep 2012
Besides the scenes involving the older Majid I found this to be an underwhelming film. This is perhaps due to the hype, I don't know.
I found it a bit cold and while I may need a second viewing to feel more confident in what I am about to say, I think some of the shooting style, while having an intent, was a bit empty and in turn pretentious (not the most pretentious I've seen mind, but still not really powerful in the way its lingering distant style would want you to think.).
Overall I think I could see what it was saying but it didn't really have my interest, besides the scenes involving the older Majid (especially one specific scene which i'm sure you will recognize when you see it. Its shot very well. For me it is the one true sign of greatness of the director in the whole film, but hey, I might be wrong/deluded.).
