ABOUT THE FILMS:

CACHÉ, 2005, Dir: Michael Haneke, 118 Minutes, Sony Pictures Classics, France/Austria/Germany/Italy. 

In French with English subtitles.

Academy Award-winner Juliette Binoche stars in CACHÉ, a psychological thriller about a TV talk show host and his wife who are terrorized by surveillance videos of their private life. Delivered by an anonymous stalker, the tapes reveal secret after secret until obsession, denial and deceit take hold of the couple and hurl them to the point of no return. CACHÉ is director Michael Haneke’s dark vision of a relationship torn mercilessly apart by the camera’s unblinking eye.

FORMAT: 35mm

CODE UNKNOWN, 2000, Dir: Michael Haneke, 117 Minutes, Janus Films, France. 

In French with English subtitles. 

One of the world’s most influential and provocative filmmakers, Michael Haneke diagnoses the social maladies of contemporary Europe with devastating precision and artistry. His drama CODE UNKNOWN, the first of his many films made in France, may be his most inspired work. Composed almost entirely of brilliantly shot, single-take vignettes focusing on characters connected to one seemingly minor incident on a Paris street, Haneke’s film—with an outstanding international cast headlined by Juliette Binoche—is a revelatory examination of racial inequality and the failure of communication in an increasingly diverse modern landscape.
