For this Sunday Kino Night, first up is Cache (2005), a thriller about a Parisian TV host who finds himself the recipient of threatening packages, featuring secret footage of his family, among other things. The videos become more personal as the sender reveals the extent of their Jokerfication and reveals that they have known the host for years. Things escalate from there. Director is Austrian auteur Michael Haneke, whose home-invasion thriller Funny Games (2007) we previously watched. Excellent reviews for this one, so let’s check it out.

Next is Monsieur Verdoux (1947), one of Charlie Chaplin’s most-acclaimed films. He plays a banker who has lost his job and decides to cash in on insurance payouts by repeatedly marrying new wives and killing them. Things go well until, uh oh, he marries two who do not fall for his plans. Things spiral out of control from there, and hilarity ensues. One of the few films in which Chaplin plays a character other than the Tramp. Looks pretty neat.

We’ll start at 8PM EST on Hextube, right here:
