  better than funny games (both versions) as it's more about the film than the acting performance. it's just more solid, and with the constant calling cards it has the intensity of some J-horror.

  Cache (Hidden) is a French psychological thriller, directed by Michael Haneke, starring Daniel Auteuil and Juliette Binoche as Georges and Anne Laurent, a married couple with a 12-year-old son in Paris. VHS tapes containing recordings of the Laurent household under mysterious surveillance begin arriving at their front door, and these tapes lead to strained relationships as the couple attempts to solve the mystery of who is sending the tapes. I had no prior knowledge of this movie going into it. Typically, I don't watch a lot of foreign language films. However, I've heard from multiple outlets that Cache is considered one of the best movies of the century, so I had to see what the buzz is about. After viewing, I can understand the hype. Let me start by saying that Cache is not a movie for casual film fans. At two hours in length, it is a very slow movie and focuses more on the actors than the actions. Also, as I said before, this is French film. If that's a turn-off, don't watch it. I believe Haneke directed a real piece of art here. The tension is palpable throughout the run time thanks to long, static shots and a complete absence of music. Seriously, not a single note is played in the background of Cache. It amps up the intensity in a way that makes it almost uncomfortable to watch. Helping this cause are the two lead actors. Auteuil and Binoche have fantastic chemistry, and the strain in their relationship increases throughout the movie. There are creepy flashback/dream sequences as well, raising more questions than answers. Speaking of ambiguity, the end of this movie is going to piss people off. Haneke has gone on record to say that he enjoys listening to people's theories on the movie because there really is no clear answer to the mystery. While infuriating, it effectively makes me want to rewind and watch the movie all over again! Seriously folks, if you have patience when watching a movie, Cache is worth your time. It only becomes more intriguing as the plot thickens, and you'll be unable to do anything except stare at the screen searching for subtle clues as to who is behind the mystery. If you're up for the challenging view, Cache is for you (rhyme not intended). Final grade: A -Ben

  Unresolved narratives are deal-breakers for many film viewers, and if you are one of them, this film will likely anger you greatly. For those willing to take on some heavy ambiguity, Haneke crafts a self-reflexive story about the relationship between film and memory, both good and bad.

  Cache is a tight nerve wrenching, heart pounding, film. The greatest thriller of recent history. A couple with a near perfect life gets disturbed by video tapes arriving at there door of someone watching them. No character development lead into this, the film dived right into this. Smart decision in my mind, because this film never wasted a second. These tapes and occasional letters turned there lives upside down. There were no threats, no foul play, just the pure idea of being stalked crashed there lives to the ground. I was incredibly tense through out, I was always on the edge waiting for what's to come next. The editing by Muse and Hudeck was unbelievable, the pacing was spot on. The only thing I wish is that there would be at least some more of a conclusion. I'm not saying a give away, but a hint. The film can be interpreted many ways with the open end, I'm still pondering a few possibilities. No doubt in my mind though that this will be remembered as a classic with in the thriller genre.
