Caché

A bourgeois Parisian family finds mysterious videotapes delivered to their doorstep. Reminiscent of the prologue in "Lost Highway," the tapes primarily feature recordings of the exterior of their home, gradually moving towards their intimate spaces. We already know where this is heading: what lies beneath the apparent happiness of the bourgeoisie? Actually, the interventions of this mysterious stalker reveal little or nothing, relying instead on the characters' reactions to unveil their true nature. The cinematography is as static and sterile as the tapes delivered within the film. In fact, at the beginning in each scene, you may question whether it's part of the movie or just one of the mysterious recordings. It's also challenging to trust the protagonist's memories, with dreams that could be recollections of the past or just fabricated recollections to cover up the lies of a lifetime. Despite the film itself being so restrained and essential in execution, I found it thematically captivating. I don't think I'll revisit it anytime soon, but I'll keep it in my notebook of films to remember.

Great premise, first 25 minutes of the movie had me very interested. After that, I debated turning it off multiple times but stuck with it because I did hear some good things about it. The film dragged on and just wasn't entertaining imo. I would never watch it again or recommend it.
