Concerned by an industry person's comment to her that the new Michael Haneke film would be tough to market to an older art-house crowd, in her NY Times journal, Manohla Darghis wrote:

Well, I think it's time to kill off that audience — and grow a new audience — if the only films we are going to get from abroad are nice, nauseatingly polite works about characters who simply hold up a mirror to that audience, who wear nice clothes, live in nice houses and have discreet but finally resolvable crises. If someone doesn't buy "Caché," and give it a seriously funded push, then the state of film distribution in the United States is far worse than I thought.
