Caché

Honestly this film is clearly the blueprint for psychological thrillers, so so many facsimiles of it have been made--Gone Girl for instance, but none of them come close to the mastery with which Haneke made Caché, how he manages to make a film this long so riveting without it bordering on superfluity is beyond me. I feel like the reason Georges' suspicions were pointed to Majid was because he always thought that the lies he told about Majid were worthy of revenge--sentiments of guilt that he deemed dormant rose to the surface, he thought this was something karmic taking place. Had he been rational, he would have realized that the common denominator between his house and Majid's were their sons, I loved how Haneke alluded to Pierrot's involvement through the scene where he confronted his mother about her clandestine affair with Pierre. It was dramatic irony at its zenith. The surveillance footage disconcerted me, it made me feel like a voyeur of sorts, the brilliance of this film's camera work is ineffable. I will never understand how people will dislike the ending for its 'anticlimactic' nature because wanting a climactic ending is akin to asking for an unrealistic one.
