Cache is a critically acclaimed film and subsequently, there is much discourse surrounding the film.
Below you will find some critical commentary on the film (some more academic than others) that are useful in helping you to come to some conclusions about the film and how it represents the thematic issues of the city, power, poverty and conflict, common to Urban Story films.
Also posted below is the first 30 minutes (2 parts) of a lecture on Cache and the politics of privacy by Dan North from the University of Exeter. This can be seen as useful to your study of the film as many Urban Stories focus on the spatial politics of the urban environment and our public experience of the City. However, in Cache, it is clear that Georges, although he has a public role as a TV presenter, is at pains to keep control of his own private world. This public / private dichotomy is an interesting aspect of the film.
There are also parts 3 and 4 of the lecture but I couldn't get them to play - maybe you will have more luck. If so, please post the links in the comments box.
