We rarely see movies like Cache. Beautiful, unforgettable and probably one of the top 5 most original films of the 00s.
Bizarre video tapes disturb a married couple. Georges and Anne can't understand what are the tapes about, but are absolutely positive, someone has intentionally sent them to their house.
There is something about Cache that makes it better and better every time it accidentally crosses your mind, months after the first viewing. I watched it couple of months ago and today, I like it better without having seen in for second time. Another prove for Cache's unique creativity.
European cinema is always something special. You know the movie carries a deep meaning. That's the case with Cache as well. The character Georges is perfectly written. Very complex and crafty person who hides something about his past that might be related to the his nowadays concerns. Director and writer, Michael Haneke creates Georges as a metaphor for man's inability to share and be honest with his family. In the second and third act, he becomes a different person that may very well be considered a suspect for what's going on. His life becomes a unceasing nightmare. Haneke uses a "voyeur" camera, showing us that even though Georges's family doesn't know about his secrets, we do. Generally, Haneke has included plenty of hints about the thin connection between the viewer and the characters in his film.
As the mystery develops, the viewer realizes the characters are much more interesting than a possible twist. Looking through their personality solves the movie. All short dialogs are like a puzzle. Nothing in this movie is there by accident. Everything means something, but not in the confusing way when you have to read essays in order to find an answer to your questions. Cache is like a huge, beautiful garden with only one exist that you have to find, but you prefer admiring its charm. You just stop caring about the ending, even though Haneke wouldn't give clues to his character's importance.
Anyway, this is not the place for sharing my theory, so I will just say, Cache is a masterpiece. A movie that provokes your moral and imagination in the best way possible.
