MEMORIES

Today's film was

Caché / Hidden (2006)

This psychological thriller with Daniel Auteuil and Juliette Binoche creeps up on you slowly.

The past is revealed slowly as someone sends videos of the couple's house and the husband's original home. Other stuff too.

It is a great film.

The sense of foreboding builds.

You should not read the Ebert review at the link too closely. There are a few too many spoilers.

We saw this film as well as yesterday's Maria Filled With Grace because they were mentioned in an article about the Oscar's stupid requirements for foreign film entries.

Oscar's Foreign Policy Problem

They were disqualified for trivial reasons and lost considerable box office clout as a result.

I don't know about the Oscar part but I am going to give this film a 5 out of Netflix5.
