Voyeuristic and unsettling, Caché is a surprisingly messaged piece with some of the grit and gore that you'd expect from a Michael Haneke movie, but probably not as much or of the kind you're expecting. Initially let down by the lack of usual Haneke brutality, I was quite shocked to see a more restrained, pointed message movie about French guilt and racism. I loved the subtley and straight faced presentation of these themes, leaving it up to the viewer to piece together and deciper what Haneke is trying to say here; from the news reports, how Georges acts and the underlying mystery from the past. Not bad, and definitely a higher score from me as I love understated message movies, but steer clear if slow burn metaphors are not your thing. Seeing Juliette Binoche in another movie after loving her in The Staircase was also a treat. Good stuff indeed.
