Michael Haneke directed Hidden. The film tells the story of Georges Laurent (Daniel Auteuil), a successful host of a
French literary TV programme, who lives with his wife Anne ( Juliette Binoche),
a book publisher, and their school-age son Pierrot (Lester Makedonsky). The
quiet life of this Paris family is disturbed when they receive a series of
surveillance tapes of their own residence from an anonymous source. This tapes
show extended observation of their home's exterior from a static street camera
that is never noticed. At first passive and harmless, but later accompanied by
crude, disturbing crayon drawings, the tapes lead to questions about Georges'
early life that disrupt both his work and marriage.
The film was a success. It won several prizes: Best Director at the 2005 Cannes Film Festival and Best European Actor at the 2005 European Film Awards among them. It was also highly acclaimed by the critics.
"Don't bother getting comfortable when you sit down for Michael Haneke's
Hidden (Cache). Soon as this quietly terrifying film starts, the unease starts
to fester." Matthew Leyland. BBC. 23/01/2006.
