Even though the trailer really doesn't tell us a thing, I'm really looking forward to this film, due in part to the fantastic word of mouth.
I was one of the few who thought that "Funny Games" was a great, but difficult, film, and although I haven't seen "Cache" in quite some time, I remember being extremely involved in it's story, style, and direction.
I would have to agree that this is probably going to be a foreign film contender, but I'm beginning to agree with some in that Haneke may have a shot at a lone director nomination.
Even though there is that "Palm d'Or curse", I really think this film will break it and ge nominations for Picture, Director, and Screenplay. And of course, def. Foreign Film.
Definitely a foreign film contender, not sure it's a Best Pic contender yet though...
