Winning the Best Director award at the 2005 Cannes Film Festival, Austrian director Michael Haneke once again proved his prowess in mastering the codes of a psychological thriller. Shot between his two versions of the terrifying cult film Funny Games, Caché plunges the viewer into the darkest corners of the human psyche. Constantly playing games with the audience, the film raises a debate very close to Haneke's heart: intrusion in the private sphere. The film also shows a number of his trademark themes: austerity in directing, manipulation of the characters and social criticism. Added to this is an ending which leaves you speechless and reopens the original premises, confirming once again that explicit endings are clearly not his way of doing things.
