Review of Caché (2005) by Thomas L — 14 Dec 2008
It took me awhile after watching to make up my mind on if I liked it or not. In Caché, a French couple is left a videotape on their porch that shows the footage of a static hidden camera surveying their residence.
More tapes are left to them, wrapped in violent drawings that appear to be the artwork of a child. Since the police offer no help, the husband, Georges, investigates these tapes on his own, and is forced to face his guilt from an event in his past.
It's one of the most subjective movies I have seen, leaving much up to the viewer's interpretation, so there isn't much in terms of definitive closure, which will obviously frustrate some, but regardless if you like or dislike it, it is very thought-provoking.
It is well-acted and very well crafted; Michael Haneke has a way of making movies that stay with you after you've watched them. I think it could've been improved by having any kind of score at all, but that's not Haneke's style.
