Michael Haneke is, according to most critics, one of the best filmmakers out there right now. Unfortunately, I haven't liked either of his films. I saw the American version of "Funny Games, a film that apparently you aren't supposed to like. And I didn't. Another one of his critically acclaimed films is Cache, which also went by the title Hidden. After reading the film, I've read up on it but I can't say that it's helped me like it. I was hoping that there was a Mulholland Drive element to it but there really isn't. Critics talk about the authenticity or realism of the film but, personally, I saw two people acting somewhat cooly and making strange choices. I never was really able to connect with any of the characters and that deadened the tension. In fact, it almost put me to sleep.

If you enjoy post-modern art films then you should check it out because you might find something in it that I didn't but if you aren't a fan of foreign films, this isn't a film that is going to sway you. For that, check out "The Lives of Others".
