More than one critic has offered "Cache" as a nifty companion piece to Steven Spielberg's "Munich." The way both films consider personal responsibility makes that true enough. But the recent opus that came to mind was David Cronenberg's "A History of Violence," a movie also about a man, his family, and the vagaries in his past. Cronenberg turned a commentary on the proverbial sins of the father into an action movie. With his cheesy-satirical smokescreens, however, Cronenberg wanted us to laugh with him. Haneke is determined to haunt us. Maybe Georges's ghosts are ours, too.
