Cache (Hidden) Movie

[Jochen Stremmel]

Not to forget Amour about which Ebert wrote (at least) 2 great paragraphs

Old age isn't for sissies, and neither is this film. Trintignant and Riva
courageously take on these roles, which strip aside all the glamor of their
long careers (he starred in "A Man and a Woman," she most famously in
"Hiroshima, Mon Amour"). Their beauty has faded, but it glows from within.
It accepts unflinchingly the realities of age, failure and the
disintegration of the ego.

Yes, and to watch "Amour" invites us — another audience — to accept them,
too. When I saw "Hiroshima, Mon Amor" (1959), I was young and eager and
excited to be attending one of the first French art films I'd ever seen. It
helped teach me what it was, and who I was. Now I see that the film, its
actors and its meaning have all been carried on, and that the firemen are
going to come looking for all of us one of these days, sooner or later.
3 months before the firemen came looking for him.
