Oracle of DelphiIntroductory Film Review: 'Hidden' (2005)
May 16th 2006 22:49
Juliette Binoche as Anne
Director: Michael Haneke
Writer: Michael Haneke
Producers: Viet Heiduschka
Actors:
Daniel Auteuil as Georges
Juliette Binoche as Anne
Maurice Benichou as Majid
Genre: Mystery
A Bourgeoisie French man and wife start receiving anonymous videotapes on their front porch featuring their home and other parts of their lives. After a few days, the tapes include disturbing pictures. Spooked, the couple decide to involve the police, who unfortunately cannot help unless there is an actual crime. Confused, the couple start to grow paranoid and as a result their relationship and past is scrutinised. Few problems are solved in this film, and nor should they be, as the film does not set itself up as a search for objective truth, but rather, as a discourse on narrative and meaning, that is, the way in which stories give life its meaning.
In limited release in Australian cinemas now.
Note: A further examination of the film is to follow in my next post

In addition, I'm sure you ought to be referring to the film as
" 'idden."

And I think that was her in the English Patient...
