Paranoia grips a bourgeois European family when a series of menacing videotapes begin turning up on their doorstep in Piano Teacher director Michael Haneke's dark drama.

This French film (in bad, washed-out English subtitles) is a quiet chiller. A family's social fabric unravels right before our eyes.
Top CriticCaché encourages us to look -- and then to look harder.
Contrarian that he is, Haneke does a much finer job forcing questions than providing an answer.
Hidden is essential viewing for those who like their thrillers with depth, intelligence, and inimitable style.
Coming from a guy who sliced private parts onscreen long before Lars von Trier, "Cache" is restrained. But Michael Haneke skillfully, slowly twists the knife on those who would so carelessly forget a decision that forever altered the life of someone else.
Many things are hidden in the layers of this brilliantly clever mystery from Michael Haneke: the truth, the point of view from which the story is told, the political references and, most intriguingly, the ending. Which is not to say you can't find them. B
Another step towards replacing facile jolts with compassionate scrutiny
Michael Haneke est visiblement un cinéaste qui adore mettre son public à rude épreuve.
Michael Haneke's aptly named Caché (Hidden) is the kind of movie that fully engages the mind of the viewer. It's a multi-layered, open-ended thriller, an onion sliced by taut piano wire.
This is a cut above the usual behind-the-scenes fare.
Haneke doesn't just communicate anything to be left up to the viewer; he stacks up many ideas for the viewer to pick through.
Here, no image and no act of viewing seems entirely innocent.
