Affluent Parisian couple Anne and Georges start receiving mysterious video tapes of their own home. Under surveillance by persons unknown, the couple fear for the safety of their 12-year-old son. As tapes continue to arrive, Georges suspects a figure from his past maybe responsible-but confronting that person means revisiting old secrets and transgressions.
20 years after its Cannes premiere, Hidden (Caché) has cemented its status as a modern classic. Director Michael Haneke deconstructs the apparently idyllic lives of one wealthy family while shining a light on some of the darkest chapters of modern French history. With its peerless use of video footage and refusal to offer easy resolutions, this is one ofthe great films of the 21st century.

Reviews:
“★★★★★ Hidden is Michael Haneke's masterpiece... It is one of the great films of this decade.”
