CINEOS Premiere
Caché
A comfortable Paris couple starts receiving anonymous tapes of their own front door being watched — and the mystery of who's filming becomes a reckoning with a private cruelty, and a national crime, neither wants to name.
From the first shot you can't tell whether you're watching the film or watching someone's surveillance, and that doubt never lets your body settle. It refuses beauty and refuses release, holding you inside a man's guilty, self-justifying view until his evasions start to feel like your own. What it leaves is not grief but a specific, uncomfortable residue: the sense that comfort itself might be built on something you've agreed not to look at.

FAQ
Do we ever find out who sent the tapes?
No, and Haneke means it. The unanswered question forces you to stop solving a mystery and start examining guilt — the film's real subject.
Why does it feel so tense when so little happens?
Because you're never sure whether you're watching or being watched. The long, still shots make ordinary rooms feel observed, and that unease does the work a thriller usually gets from action.
