A
TV talk show host (Daniel Auteuil) and his wife (Juliette Bincoche) are
terrorized by a stalker who sends the couple disturbing drawings and protracted
videotaped recordings of both their Paris residence and the man’s childhood
home, eventually causing a rift in their marriage and reawakening haunting
memories of early childhood shame. Michael Haneke’s Cache (Hidden) is a methodically composed and exceptionally patient
and profound work that hypnotically draws the viewer in (like many great films
do) and makes its larger points not through preaching but by craft and expose.
**** out of ****
