Review of Caché

Caché (2005)
9/10
A smart and excellent thriller!
3 July 2005
Caché means Hidden in French and is a clue to the mystery in this excellent film by Michael Haneke. Also his most accessible film yet which was the definite favorite film of the critics to win the Golden Palm but that prize is given by a jury which has its own reasons and justification for the prize. The rule this year was set by Emir Kusturica to give the prize to the film that achieved the most with the least, so in other words the best story or message with least budget and means. Anyway what I loved about Caché was the hidden message in this taut thriller. I don't want to give too much away but it's something everybody who's not white or of European or American origin can relate to. Everything is in top form of course with the perfect performances by Auteuil and Binoche. The film was shot in High Definition which serves the story perfectly. Also the film has one of the most shocking scene that will make you jump and its way into cinema history.
