About this book

Catherine Wheatley's study of Michael Haneke's 2005 thriller Cache ('Hidden') explores how, in depicting the relationship between an affluent Parisian family and the Algerian outsider Majid, the film raises questions about home and the family, France's 'hidden' post-colonial past, spectatorship and screens.

Reviews

Wheatley's detailed analysis of its shifting perspectives opens up the multiplicity of meanings Caché contains, the better to understand its secrets.' -Sight & Sound

'Wheatley avoids plumping for a single interpretation, instead teasing out the "multilayered thematic" of the elusive film. We end up no nearer to unriddling this "whodunit without a solution", but granted a deeper appreciation of its tantalising subtleties.' -Philip Kemp, Total Film
