Skjult nærmer seg.

Snart kommer Skjult, den desidert beste filmen fra 2005. Det hersker ingen tvil i mitt sinn når jeg sier det. Og det var mange gode filmer ifjor: Barnet, Gudenes Kamp, 4, The Wayward Cloud etc.

Min anmeldelse kommer snart. Jeg burde egentlig se den en gang til da. Så imens får dere nøye dere med et par utdrag fra amerikanske kritikere. De er overveldende positive, tenk!

Variety Deborah Young
"A tightly plotted and paced thriller whose not-so-hidden agenda is to expose the bad conscience of the world's haves toward its have-nots, "Hidden" is one of Austrian helmer Michael Haneke's most watchable and pungent works."

The New York Times A.O. Scott
"While this film can seem politically simplistic, it is nonetheless psychologically astute, and more complicated than it at first appears."

LA Weekly Ella Taylor
"The eerily timely subject of Haneke's film is France's unwilling encounter with the disenfranchised minorities it has tried to sweep under the rug. As one who giggled through his widely admired, irredeemably silly "The Piano Teacher," I wasn't prepared to be easily won over by Caché, but it turns out to be his most human and affecting movie to date."

Rolling Stone Peter Travers
"Casts a spell that grips you and won't let go. The film works as a provocation, on a personal and a political level."

The Hollywood Reporter Kirk Honeycutt
"Haneke echoes the theme of Hitchcock's "Rear Window": Moviemaking is basically an act of voyeurism. We secretly examine people's lives in every movie. But in this one, there is a hidden camera, a movie within the movie as it were, forcing us to observe a character along side a mysterious stranger."

Entertainment Weekly Lisa Schwarzbaum
"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."
