Leans Progressive
Primary
The film's central thesis explicitly critiques historical denial and the lingering effects of post-colonial guilt and racial injustice, particularly concerning France's past actions, aligning it with progressive ideology. It highlights the inescapable nature of unacknowledged wrongs and the corrosive impact of societal complacency.
The film primarily features a traditional European cast, with minority characters whose roles are integral to the narrative's exploration of historical and personal guilt. It offers a subtle critique of the protagonist's privileged position and his denial of past actions, indirectly addressing themes of societal responsibility and hidden truths.
Secondary
The film portrays Majid and his son, implicitly Muslim due to their Algerian background, as victims of historical and personal injustice. The narrative condemns the prejudice and actions of Georges, positioning the audience to sympathize with the victimized family and critique the societal guilt related to colonialism.
Michael Haneke's 'Caché' does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative centers on a middle-class French family grappling with an anonymous threat linked to past actions and societal guilt, with no elements related to queer identity.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
Caché is an original screenplay by Michael Haneke, not an adaptation of existing source material or a historical account. All characters were created for this film, meaning there is no prior canon from which a character's gender could have been established and subsequently changed.
