When upper-middle-class Parisian couple Georges and Anne (Auteuil and Binoche) begin to receive a series of increasingly disturbing videotapes that depict scenes and events collected from their lives, dread soon permeates every aspect of their existence. Eventually, Georges’s personal history is revealed to be influenced by France’s political history, particularly by its colonization of Algeria and its treatment of Algerian immigrants. A thriller that also touches upon issues of class and race, Caché leaves the viewer in a state of uneasy paranoia.
