Caché

A still camera welcomes you with the names of the cast and crew arranging itself across the screen. Michael Haneke's slick psychological drama grips you from that very calm beginning. Georges (Daniel Auteuil) and Anne (Juliette Binoche) lead an innocuous life with their teenage son. Boring tapes of someone watching them start to show up on their doorstep and the idyllic layers of their lives start to peel.

I agree, it was a good thriller, but how did you interpret the end where Pierrot and Majid's son talk on the school steps?

I think it was their son in conjunction with Majid's boy who was recording their going ons and planting them at their door step. Something of a cry for attention. I think he suspected his mother of having an affair and was trying to let her know that she is being watched. I am not sure how he got to be friends with Majid's son though. Maybe the grandmother gave him a hint about his father's past.
