Interview, Dec, 2005 by Michael Koresky
(Sony Pictures Classics) Directed by Michael Haneke
Austria's preeminent cinema provocateur, Michael Haneke (The Piano Teacher, 2001), returns with what could be his richest work, an insidious peek into the lives of a Parisian bourgeois couple, Georges and Anne (Daniel Auteuil and Juliette Binoche), whose seeming stability is upended when they begin to find on their doorstep anonymous, threatening childlike drawings and surveillance videotapes of the facade of their home. Though Cache (Hidden) opens as a mystery, Haneke's goals here are refreshingly abstract and ultimately political--in trying to track down his stalker, Georges reaches back into both childhood terrors and the lingering social guilt of the French-Algerian war. Subtle and challenging, Cache redefines the word "thriller."
