The TVI Take
A French television host begins receiving surveillance tapes of his home. Michael Haneke's film generates exceptional cognitive engagement — the mystery is never resolved, the surveillance is never explained.
Educational about colonial guilt, specifically Algeria and France's refusal to reckon with it. One of the great films of the 2000s.
