This movie is so steadily terrifying. I didn't truly realize how engaged I was until this exact moment. It really staggers you and reframes the entire narrative.
Just watched this film for the first time. I feel so stupid, in the last scene I didn't even notice the two sons talking.
Same thing happened to me! I finished it on my iPad on a flight home last night and never even noticed them in the bottom corner. Watched the entire credits too.
Well said, Haneke films do make you feel like you're watching something that you shouldn't.
I've watched every movie from this fantastic director, I can't get enough of him. One thing I keep noticing is that characters will say lines that have a double meaning to them. The best example I can think of is the final line in The Piano Teacher: "Men! Always rushing you, you know how it is..."
In Caché, I agree, there is more than enough evidence that the boys are responsible. Majid's unnamed son denies it twice however, and both times are a double meaning. He says:
"They [the tapes] had nothing to do with me."
i.e. "They had nothing to do with me. They had everything to do with you and my father." And of course if you asked Georges, he "had nothing to do with" Majid being abandoned to live in destitution.
The second time Georges accuses him, he says:
"Why would I do that, sir?"
"Why would I do that" is a stereotypical alibi for someone in denial, just another way of saying "I didn't do it." Georges snaps at him, telling him to cut the shit, the "dumbass politeness." But what if he meant it literally? Why would he do that? Why go to all that trouble? Of course this is what makes Georges snap, because if he seriously answered that question, he'd have to admit to what he did, and the way it affected Majid. And he never will. He will walk back into the office, the studio, his bourgeois dinner parties, as soon as he can. Because to him, the truth is less important than his dumbass politeness.
Good video! I agree, this scene also left a serious impact on me since I first saw it. It's one of the few times where a movie has actually made me jump and had my skin crawl. Haneke's filmography is just insane to me. Caché isn't even my favorite or second favorite of his, yet this film is still in my top 15 of all time.
Caché is my number 1 favorite movie of all time. I’ve watched my DVD of it multiple times, but I’m seeing it in 35mm tomorrow at a repertory theater here in NYC. I’m super excited!
Update: it ended up being one of the best nights of my life, no exaggeration. It was a full house and EVERYONE gasped during this scene. It was amazing.
I just found your channel and I'm obsessed. The quality and insight you bring to the table is art in itself!
I can’t be more grateful that you found my channel and have gotten so much out of it. ❤️
Amazing analysis bro! This film is a true masterpiece.
Can’t wait to rewatch now I have all this intelligent context!
I love this film and the ending is why. I rewatched this film more than I'd like to admit
I wish you pronounced the directors name properly tho....
@@jeffscott1877 hey I was pretty damn close to pronouncing it correctly lol
@@TheMisfitPond truuu I respect it
Haneke's finest hour. This scene was so shocking when I first saw it. Completely blew me away and creeped me out, whereby I was asking 'what the fuck is going on'? And in the context of what happened it was so haunting and tragic. Brought forward issues around class, race and ethnicity, elitism and the maltreatment of minority groups to the fore like no other movie ever has or ever will do again, in my humble opinion.
One of the very few movies were i felt that i was watching pure reality and not people acting
Great video man.
Haneke's shots focus on the estrangement of reality and the image filmed by the camera. Although it attempts to broaden itself to a much bigger discourse, the world that we see inside his shots are constructed very profoundly. Love ur channel, from Korea
Thanks for sharing your analysis, it blew my mind! 😅
Brilliant analysis of a brilliant film! I so wish this video existed a year ago when I watched Caché for the first time 😂
An interesting analysis as always. I'll check this one out.
Discord gang here for Cache discussion tonight lets goooo
rise of gru advert at the start
Thanks for this. I think Ill watch this movie again at some point. The less information the more interesting. Haneke is one of the greatest.
Great analysis. Is there really still no blu-ray release of this? Any Criterion rumors?
This would be a great Criterion addition
Criterion must have issues acquiring the rights. They can sometimes take years. But in recent news, Heneke's early television films are getting released by Criterion.
I wouldnt say that the movie is about class really. Rather about colonization and the history between France (Georges) and Algeria (Majid).
I agree but the socially conditioned lack of empathy would work for class differences as well at least regarding the human mind.
Hidden is filmed very differently compared to Haneke's other films. It has these amateur style zooming in. Was this intentional.
i'm enthralled with foreign films...i know this is a mundane concern, but if georges is so sophisticated, why can't he just let the video go? he couldnt simply let them pile up? his guilty conscience? he is a bit of a parody in the worst way possible.
