Introduction Michael Haneke’s film Caché/Hidden (2005) has provoked endless debates since the first day when it came out in 2005. The audiences leave the theatre jolted and subsequently keep thinking for days due to its ambiguous narrative construction (Cousins, 2007). Based on the surface reading of the plot, it is a thriller contains a mixture of domestic contradictions, amnesia and the mistrust between middle class and lower class. A French bourgeois family living in the cosy suburb of Paris is being filmed by an inscrutable, hidden observer.

Without any drive on the narrative, the audience start to get unsettled. After a while, the image stops trying to keep holding the audiences’ attention.

This happened every time when the footages being showed to the audiences, they are not looking through the Television screen like the protagonists within the film, instead, they share the angle of view with the invisible perpetrator(s). Saxton points out that “We thus share, at least temporarily, the confusion and disorientation of a couple we encounter in the uncanny situation of watching themselves being watched.

[ . . . ] We frequently left unsure about not only who is directing a particular shot but also whether we are viewing it as it is being filmed, or as it is being watched by diegetic spectators.”
