Caché
Grade: A

Michael Haneke (The Piano Teacher) won the Best Director prize at the 2005 Cannes Film Festival for this tense and disturbing film about a family under surveillance. Juliette Binoche and Daniel Auteuil (The Closet) play a sophisticated Parisian couple whose tranquility bites the dust when they begin receiving psychotic drawings and eerie videotapes filmed from outside their apartment. The two leads deliver masterful performances, bringing their characters from a simmer to a boil as the ugly intrigue escalates. But with his insidious and undeniably effective way of shocking us when we least expect it, Haneke emerges as the the real star of the show.
