Cache is a psychological thriller about a Paris family that is haunted by an anonymous stalker that know’s something about the father’s past.  The subsequent stalking and sending of video tapes to the house in turn strains the relationships in the house. The Husband becomes suspicious of his wife, the wife begins to believe that her husband is hiding a terrible secret, and the son in turn begins to believe that his mother is having an affair with a family friend. The arrival of the tapes brings other secrets boiling to the surface. The effects that the video tapes have on this Parisian family beg the question, “Are they the problem? Or are they illuminating problems that are already there but have been repressed”. While the film centers around this family, there are social undertones. The husband begins suspecting his childhood friend Majod, a Moroccan “farmhand” that lived with him until his parents sent him to live in an orphanage. Not only is this a reference to France’s colonial past, but it speaks to an on going classicism and racism that is present within the society. In the article Cache And The Secret Image, Kartik Nair says that the film pursues “revelation towards an articulation of historical guilt”. I would say while this is true, the film can be more directly related to the idea of privacy or sacred spaces in a world where surveillance has become increasingly prevalent.
