The maestro of discomfort returns after detours into a post-apocalyptic
landscape (Time of the Wolf) and music (The Piano Teacher).
Now, closer to home, a study of the many faces of responsibility.
George and Anne are a well-to-do middle class French family
with a son. But their comfortable life begins to unravel
when an anonymous video tape appears in the post showing
their house over a two hour period. They are being watched.
But by who? And why? Is the past coming back to haunt them?
Unravelling like a classic thriller and addressing the many
faces of personal and national responsibilities this is
typically rigorous filmmaking from a master.
BEST DIRECTOR - Cannes Film Festival 2005
"a spectacularly intelligent movie... suspenseful,
gripping and emotionally affecting drama. A film of splendid
ambiguities" Time Out
