Hidden (Caché) + discussion (Film & Philosophy)
<div><b>Screening as part of <a href="https://www.filmhouse.org.uk/film--philosophy">Film & Philosophy</a>.</b></div><div><b><br></b></div><div><b>This screening will have a short introduction and be followed by an open discussion on Psychological Causality, Guilt, and Spectatorial Complicity led by James Mooney (University of Edinburgh).</b></div><div><br></div>Georges, the bourgeois host of a sophisticated television literary programme, finds his curated domestic peace shattered when he begins receiving anonymous videotapes of his home alongside disturbing, childlike sketches. Michael Haneke turns the camera inward to examine psychological determinism, echoing Arthur Schopenhauer’s dictum that <i>"a man can do what he wills, but he cannot will what he wills"</i>. As Georges’s panic escalates, Haneke illustrates how unacknowledged historical guilt and childhood trauma function as hidden deterministic drivers of adult behaviour, raising the unsettling question of whether moral autonomy is ever truly possible when our choices remain governed by subconscious defence mechanisms.DramaPT1H58M152025-07-27FRfrDaniel Auteuil
