Caché (Hidden)
Dir: Michael Haneke
2005
*****
Hitchcock once said that it's not the bang that is important but rather the anticipation of it that is. With Hidden, Haneke is obviously in agreement and his admiration for the late director shows. What Haneke brings to the table is just as good though, and that's that it doesn't matter 'who done it', it is why they have done it that is important. Maybe not a new idea but Haneke's film is very unique and very.....Haneke. It is unsettling to say the least but subtle where it counts. A truly great film and a very modern classic. It seems that much like Haneke himself, this film is either loved or hated, I can't help but think a lot of people actually missed what happened in the end just as the credits start to role. It may need second a viewing but deserves several.
