Let the dog in!

Has anyone seen Cache’? It’s a French film about a father and his guilt about events in his childhood, at least that is what it is about on the surface…..I think. I watched this movie and then had to Google it to figure out WTF I just watched! Some viewers even theorized online that one of the characters did not actually EXIST. While the comments brought up a lot questions, they did explain some, too. I feel a lot better about the movie now that I have read some reviews and comments. It might even be a good movie.

What did we obscure-movie watchers do before this handy thing call the Web? I used it after watching Brokeback Mountain and Lost in Translation. What DID they say at the end of those movies, and why could I not understand it even after replaying it FIVE times?! Are directors getting more “clever” these days or has my ability to analyze atrophied away thanks to Spongebob and Clifford saturation? I USED TO go to lots of foreign films, and I enjoyed the questions and ambiguous story lines. Now, as credits roll I grab my laptop because I have no CLUE what they are trying to say with their art.

What’s happened to me….hheeelllllppppp!
