Synopsis
Georges (Daniel Auteuil), a television talk show host, and his wife Anne (Juliette Binoche), are living the perfect life of modern comfort and security. One day, their idyll is disrupted in the form of a mysterious videotape that appears on their doorstep. On it they are being filmed by a hidden camera from across the street with no clues as to who shot it, or why. As more tapes arrive containing images that are disturbingly intimate and increasingly personal, Georges launches into an investigation of his own as to who is behind this. As he does so, secrets from his past are revealed, and the walls of security he and Anne have built around themselves begin to crumble.
WINNER Best Director, FIPRESCI Prize, and Prize of the Ecumenical Jury at the Cannes Film Festival; WINNER Best Actor, Best Director, Best Editor, Best Film at the European Film Awards.

Reviews
"This brilliantly disturbing movie is constructed with surgical precision. Haneke lets no one off the hook least of all the viewer."
- David Ansen, Newsweek
"We the viewers are its beneficiaries, watching and waiting for something awful to happen. Here it does, first subtly, then spectacularly. The twist is not revealed until the last shot--if you keep your avid eyes open."
- Richard Corliss, Time
"The picture moves with stealth, enjoying its own thriller-ness as hints are laid and mislaid. There's a sense that Hitchcock is hovering in the background and cheering for Auteuil, who musters all his French superstardom to play a man having his mask of blandness torn off."
- Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly
"A perplexing and disturbing film of great effect."
- Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
"In this movie, Auteuil and Binoche are such marvelous actors, they can shift us in almost any emotional direction with a speech or a glance."
- Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune
