   What is the thesis of John and the hole?

   • By the time Sisto and Giacobone introduce a metatextual element that drives home the disquieting thesis of Anna’s talk with her son, John And The Hole has revealed itself to be a film about the impossibility of that transition, whether it’s gradual or harshly sudden.

   Is John and the hole a Caché clone?

   • But John And The Hole is no empty ripoff, no Caché clone. There’s not just suspense but also unexpected dry humor in the, well, gaping pit separating John’s extreme actions from the banal teenage time-wasting they facilitate.
