Michael Haneke's new film "Cache" - playing at Landmark Theatres

HANEKE'S HIDDEN

Sony Pictures Classics "Cache" Site

This is it peeps! The new film by director Michael Haneke ("Piano
Teacher" & "Time of the Wolf" - one of my faves from last year) is
-FINALLY- playing stateside. I've seen a poor quality bootleg of it
and even in that diminished state of resolution/fidelity - it was one
of the better cinematic experiences I had all year. Haneke, the weird
lookin' dude that he is, won Best Director for this one at Cannes in 2005.

Now playing in NY and LA. Soon to be in San Francisco, Boston, Minneapolis
and Seattle (Jan. 27) Check back at the Landmark Theatres site for more city openings:

more personal, suggesting the anonymous sender has known Georges for

family, the police refuse to help because no direct threat has been
made. A new thriller from writer/director Michael Haneke (The Piano
Teacher), co-starring Juliette Binoche. Winner of the Best Director
