Product Description

Product Description

When a series of anonymously-produced videos reveal they're under surveillance, a TV talk show host and his wife find themselves embroiled in a mystery steeped in obsession, denial and guilt.

Amazon.com

Hidden throughout Caché is the sense that you should be watching every moment in this film closely, just as the protagonists are themselves being watched by someone unknown. Georges and Anne Laurent’s (Daniel Auteuil and Juliette Binoche) enviable lives are terrorized by the sudden arrival on their doorstep of a videotaped recording of their Parisian townhouse. It’s nothing but a long, unedited shot of the façade of their house, but it’s disturbing nonetheless. Soon another arrives, this time of the farmhouse Georges grew up in, and then another of a car driving down a suburban street, and a walk down a hallway to a low-rent apartment. Again the videos are benign but unsettling. Then the mystery becomes more threatening when they receive gruesome postcards depicting child-like drawings of bloody, dead stick figures. Georges believes he knows who the culprit is, but for reasons all his own refuses to let his wife in on the secret. Clearly more is hidden here than just the identity of their stalker. In Caché, writer and director Michael Haneke skillfully, methodically pulls back multiple layers of deception, like new skin being pulled off an old wound. he masterfully fuses elements of his predecessors to create a film that is haunting and memorable. There is Bergman's fascination with the complexity of relationships, the suspense and lurking danger of Hitchcock, and the unique cinematic sensibility of Antonioni. In fact, the provocative final shot is practically a tribute to The Passenger--a lot of people will want to rewatch it many times to see what they can find in it (if, after watching it, you are still unsatisfied with the resolution, then watch the interview with Haneke in the DVD's special features for his insights). It's a film of great effect and intrigue. There are no easy resolutions, and the answers given in this mystery will only lead to more questions. --Daniel Vancini

    Reviewed in the United States on May 25, 2010

    Midday. The camera is focused on an alleyway and the apartment building adjacent to it. The screen remains fixed on this position, motionless. Pan back, and a husband and wife stare on in horror at the taped surveillance of their home from an unknown source. Who is behind these mysterious tapes, what do they mean, and what secrets might be revealed when their lives are exposed to the world? With this, Michael Haneke delivers another riveting thriller that leaves the audience guessing from beginning to end.

    CACHE is often criticized for its overt social and political subtext, and while these themes are often apparent, they never become the driving force of the plot. Haneke's emotionless filming only serves to alienate the viewer, drawing a line of separation between them and the characters. The audience is only invited to observe but never to interact or invest themselves in the events as they unfold, a barrier that was visited first in Michael Powell's PEEPING TOM. The camera then becomes the only character with whom the audience can relate, but in keeping with the central theme of lies and deceit, the camera lies just as much as the characters themselves. It is impossible to tell which events are unfolding in actuality on screen, and which are pre-recordings that are playing back on a taped recording.

    At times, CACHE also appears to be Haneke's reflection on the Italian Giallo, as it mirrors the structure and revelation of past events that was popularized by Dario Argento in the 70s. Another nod to Argento can be found in a single shocking moment of gore that closely resembles the brutal death of Jane in TENEBRE. Completely unlike the Italian mysteries, however, CACHE does not allow for any form of satisfying end, leaving the viewer with more questions than answers in its closing scenes. Just as he has done countless times before, Haneke also robs the viewer of a soundtrack to accompany the film, which builds on the sense of tension and unease that has already been established with each new package left on Georges and Anne's doorstep.

    While Daniel Auteuil and Juliette Binoche each provide powerful and convincing performances, it is Michael Haneke's signature style that wins in the end. Paranoia, fear, and suspense are each measured out in equal doses, keeping audiences on the knife's edge at every turn. CACHE will not be received well by all audiences, but it stands as both a thought provoking and engaging piece of film art.

    Reviewed in the United States on August 25, 2015

    This is one big spoiler, so don’t read this until after you’ve seen the film, and do see it, it is superb. This is my speculation as to who was responsible for the surveillance tapes. It wasn’t any of the characters in the film but rather the director Michael Haneke; he played a part in his own movie. What had happened back in 1961--the killing of the Algerian Majid’s parents and two hundred other demonstrators by the Paris police, and Majid’s subsequent expulsion from Georges’ family because of Georges’ foul deeds--was wrong. None of the characters in the drama was in a position to surface this injustice, so Haneke did it himself. And he signals what he is up to:

    • No one but him could have gotten the surveillance camera in the first scenes as high up in the air--at least ten feet high, towering over cars and people--and as far away from the building.

    • At 13:17 on my DVD there is a large shadow on the left of the screen that sure looks like a movie camera to me.

    • None of the characters in the film was likely to have had access to the professional level videotape used in the surveillance.

    • It appears Anne received a phone call from the “stalker.” All the usual suspects either had an accent or a youthful voice, and she would have noted that fact to Georges, but she didn’t. It was Haneke on the other end of the line.

    • The dialogue in the first encounter between Georges and Majid and the surveillance tape of it don’t match, and only Haneke could have made that happen.

    • The last scene in the movie, where Majid’s son and Georges’ son Pierrot spoke in front to the school steps, which led a lot of people to conclude that they were in cahoots, had to be about something other than making the surveillance tapes, because neither one of them could have done it. For that matter, their connection may have had nothing to do with anything, because those were two actors who did whatever Haneke told them to do.

    To end with an aside, I’m suspicious Haneke, not one of the characters in the film, was the one who tripped the horse in “The White Ribbon.”

    5.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating, inscrutable
    Reviewed in the United States on May 27, 2020
    Verified Purchase
    At the core, I think this movie is talking about French-Algerian tension, and more broadly about how generational conflict becomes buried in subconsciousness, which then becomes reified and has real effects in the world without consciousness having a grasp on how and why. Appropriately, the movie builds a mystery and never solves it. However, it falls prey to inciting petty detective work, almost egging you on to to skip and pause looking for clues, much like people were playing Beatles records backwards looking for clues as to Dead Paul's whereabouts. In that sense I think it loses some of its power. I watched some interviews with Haneke and he oddly seems delighted that people are completely puzzled and searching around for clues. It just seems like a loss that a story about collective generational trauma is getting obscured by petty clue-finding. I tried to find the lesson in that and I don't see it.

    Now for some petty detective work spoilers: Another reviewer suggested that Haneke himself broke the fourth wall and entered the movie, and he's the one filming/inventing the tapes. After a bunch of research I totally agree with this reviewer. There is a scene in Majid's apartment of which a tape later surfaces. In the scene, you can clearly see the exact spot where a camera would have to be placed to film that scene, and there is no camera there. That's because there's no continuity, these tapes are being filmed "in the beyond", i.e. on the movie set and in the editing room. Super cliché device IMO, but again to echo the other reviewer, a generous interpretation is that there is no way a normal person could find the intent and clarity to reify these memories. They have to be jolted into reality by "divine intervention" so to speak.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Haneke au sommet de son art
    Reviewed in France on August 21, 2006
    Verified Purchase
    Les premiers mots qui viennent à l'esprit à la fin de la projection, c'est « quelle claque ! ». Haneke étudie la culpabilité et le poids qu'elle peut avoir sur la conscience, entres mensonges et manipulations, il nous entraîne dans un thriller passionnant et dont on ressort complètement bluffé. Le film raconte l'histoire d'un présentateur d'émission littéraire incarné par Daniel Auteuil qui a jusqu'alors une vie épanouie sur le plan professionnel et familial. Mais cet équilibre est totalement chamboulé par des cassettes qu'il reçoit à son domicile. Ces vidéos le montrent devant son domicile, avec sa famille, devant chez lui. Peu à peu, il est obligé de mentir, de cacher des choses, la menace devient de plus en plus inquiétante. Outre ce scénario lynchien, le réalisateur autrichien ose. Oui enfin on tient un film français qui sort de l'ordinaire et qui n'a pas peur de choquer le spectateur, par des caméras fixes qui vous mettent mal à l'aise ou par des séquences où l'on se demande qui est derrière la caméra ? Haneke ou celui qui épie le personnage incarné par Daniel Auteuil ? Froid et remarquablement bien construit, le film ne plaira pas à tout le monde mais il s'avère pourtant totalement génial et profondément bouleversant. Les acteurs sont très bons, Daniel Auteuil est parfait, Juliette Binoche excellente, quand à Podalydès il n'est présent que dans une seule scène mais c'est une apparition remarquable. A noter aussi la présence d'Annie Girardot qui s'en sort elle aussi, admirablement bien. La fin du film, elle aussi n'est pas convenue et suscite une pléiade d'interrogations et surtout d'interprétations. Haneke, maître de la manipulation nous délivre là un grand film.

    First saw Cache on an AIr Canada flight from Ottawa to Vancouver -fascinating and intriguing - so much so, that I missed the last few minutes as we landed ! Had to get the DVD from Amazon to complete my first exposure . Have now seen this French movie ( some of which was shot in Montreal ) an additional 2 times - and each time it brings the same delights of intrigue and innovation to the screen - wonderful - even the silent parts, where there is no dialogue are fascinating to see .

    A very unusual movie - but well worth viewing - that leaves the viewer with lots of questions about the family circumstances that led to the eventual disaster of personal involvement in the " hidden " scenes that played out to earn it's well chosen French name - Cache ! Not being , by any means , fluent in French - the somewhat sparse English sub titles are very adequate to follow the train of the film - and only makes the eventual outcome even more mysterious .

    Reading the "Google " summaries and reactions by viewers of this movie ( after I had already seen the entire DVD again ) only whetted my appetite to see this once more .The central characters played by the actors . was fascinating and rivetting - and will be enjoyed by myself again and again - which is very unusual in today's movie world , where even one showing is enough for me and my wife !

    A classic " who dunit " with a French approach that can be seen time and again - and still bring lots of movie pleasure to the viewer. A great movie indeed - fully worthy of a Five star rating .
