Guilt and paranoia in a French mystery about an upper middle-class couple who find they're under surveillance when anonymous videotapes start showing up at their door. The question: Who's watching them, and why? There's no big cathartic payoff here, but the underlying sense of unease stays consistent throughout. From the opening shot, you're acutely aware of the act of watching, and never quite sure if what you're watching is real (in the context of the movie), or something recorded on videotape. In fact, somebody could be watching and recording you right now. Think about it.
