Review of Caché

Caché (2005)
8/10
Fascinating but finally Frustrating.
11 June 2006
Hidden is the operative word for this one, also frustrating would be a substitute. But undoubtedly it is well acted by the excellent Daniel Auteuil and beautiful Juliette Binoche perhaps looking less glamorous than usual, in her housewife part. Plus there is a deviously clever plot, which breaks new ground in many ways, and some real instant shock scenes. But the sudden and obscure ending left me still wondering who sent the videotapes anyhow, and who could have filmed them in that way ? For me the answer remained quite hidden. But full marks for trying, it is typically French Cinema, and certainly for most of the length keeps you held to the seat. Just don't get too comfortable because you might be annoyed watching that long scene under the end credits which is supposed to explain all. And indeed is this last scene yet another videotape ?
