“Caché“, like all of my films, is about communication, about the difficulties of communication. (Michael Haneke)
The unsettling is Michael Haneke’s terrain. His protagonists are neglected children, bored teenagers, couples at a loss for words, or families weary of life. All of them feel estranged in their own skin and dissociated from their environment. They always appear a little abashed and out of countenance. Often Haneke takes these alienated characters to the edge of the bearable. His camera observes their stubborn inward-lookingness as calmly as the moment when they cannot sustain their own numbness anymore and fly off the handle.
