Cache: My "Best of" list goes to 11


One of the reasons I tend to dislike Top 10 lists (yet, I continue to make them) is the fact that I invariably leave a title off the list.



Case in point, I have been reminded by recent blog postings by Roger Ebert and Jim Emerson how much I love Michael Haneke's mystery, Cache (2005); and how it is without a doubt one of the best films of the 2000's.



Cache is a great mystery that has puzzled many a film-goer, and if you read my review you will learn certain details that might tip you to the "who" done it; but, alas, I have yet to decipher the "why".

Oh, I hear the skeptical cinephiles out there deriding my proclamation; saying, "How dare you claim to know the answer to the Cache mystery!" Well, again, I think I know the "who", but, not the "why". Suffice it to say, I think Jim Emerson is on the right track.



Both Ebert and Emerson's take on Cache are encompassed in this link: What is hidden in Cache?
