Taped [ANSWERED]

Arthouse film lovers have an advantage. For the others I concocted a terrible clue:

You can find it at the corner of + .

GSV please

i (a "film lover") know that one, yeah!

Well, I have reached the conclusion that I don't, even though I know the country. 

Well I think my original hint is too difficult. So here is a
CLUE

SPOILER: Click to show

You should google for "famous scary video" plus one very special word. A word that does not exist in any language but still used in this forum.

Now is this about an arthouse movie or a scary video? Because those are two totally different things.

And there is no arthouse movie about a scary video that I know of. Horror movie, yes, arthouse, no. I am confused.

So, in summary there is no arthouse movie about a scary video that YOU know of.

Exactly. I never said otherwise. I am curious to know what movie it is. 

Also, I am curious to see the names of the streets.

You'll see. Krenek already knows. OK, it is extremely hard to put this together, I admit that but you have to start off with something tough among these gentlemen(ladies?) of great talent

Well, Krenek, did say he knew the movie, so of course he found it, and Walter, well, Walter is Walter.   I am not sure what you mean "start off with something tough", but I know that if I knew the movie, I would have already found this. I would remember the house, and "arthouse movie with a scary video tape" would ring a bell, which it doesn't. So I'll do what I do with F&G most of the time: I'll wait.   

CLUE #2

SPOILER: Click to show

As someone said you have to think out of the box here but strictly within this box:

I'm with JL, more confused than ever. After viewing movie lists I probably won't sleep tonight - famous and scary mean different things to so many people   

Let's say I figured out the country of the picture, and let's say I have two or three ideas in mind for what films we are talking about. Now my head is exploding to figure out what is the word used in the forum that is not in any language. This is driving me insane.

Actually if one highlights the word "Taped" and left click or right click and search the word
on Google. You will find the name of the movie, and the location.

I already investigated on that film, but there's very poor documentation of it, it's a dead end to me

And it's not an arthouse movie.

Well, the country is pretty easy to figure out if you look at the image. But as to where the house is, if you don't know the film, you can't find the house. There isn't even a suspension bridge in the background! 


As to the word used in the forum, from the second clue I think I know what it is, which makes this even more confusing.

If you know that special word and google for "famous scary video" (in quotes!) + [that special word] it gives you the solution.

So why don't you?

At least I was right about one thing: I don't know this film, have never heard of it. Two things: the country. So, no regrets.

And it's not at the corner of Rue Babaaurhum and Rue Oeil.

I DID THIS.

God that was hard. Funny thing, I still don't know what the special word is, nor the eye and the cake. I simply read the plot of every scary *country I figured out* movie ever made and searched for its locations.

Final clue (be warned: it is also a spoiler)

Check out this trailer.

ANSWER

SPOILER: Click to show

This is the place shown on the 'scary video' which plays a central role in Francois Ozon's Michael Haneke's movie Caché. (corrected My oh my, I'm getting senile)
It is located at the corner of Rue Savarin and Rue Iris, Paris, France.
Some explanation needed to the first hint I gave.

This delicious cupcake is called savarin in Romania.

But wait, what was the special word? Cache?

To be fair, that clue was a bit misleading and far-fetched, since hhgygy is a nickname, a pseudonym, and as such, just like a name, is a word that can be used in any language, not that "doesn't exist in any language". It exists in every language, would have been a better description.

No, it is just a question of formulation. It does not exist "in the dictionary of" any language. On the other hand, I also gave a clue that "you have to think out of the box but strictly within this box", which means that you have to find that word within the "box" I posted as an image.

That's why I thought of the word "gamer", because of your clue. But "gamer" does exist (whether it should exist is another matter). A proper noun (or nickname) is indeed a word, but to say it "doesn't exist in any language" isn't the same as saying "it doesn't exist in any dictionary". Any proper noun, invented or no, exists. That is why I misled at first, until someone pm'd me the word (and my reaction was like "duh").
