New Showbiz Analysis

Tracking is a 1987 French psychological thriller that sticks closely to the genre conventions of its time. The story revolves around three teenage girls facing a dangerous predator, highlighting female protagonists but relying on problematic power dynamics. The film lacks depth in terms of race, LGBTQ+ identities, or cultural diversity. Its cast and themes reflect the homogeneous social structures of late 20th-century European horror. Overall, the film follows a standard horror formula, focusing on psychological terror and coming-of-age themes rather than challenging social hierarchies or diverse representation.

Category Breakdown

Does Tracking have LGBTQ+ representation?

Limited

The film doesn't include any LGBTQ+ characters or stories that question the idea that everyone is straight. It follows a typical horror storyline without exploring queer identities.

How does Tracking portray gender?

Limited

The story focuses on three teenage girls, but it uses traditional gender roles. A male character who is a rapist fits the usual horror movie pattern of male-driven fear.

How racially and ethnically diverse is Tracking?

Minimal

Limited

The story centers on personal survival and mental stress. It doesn't offer much criticism of Western institutions or religious beliefs.

Does Tracking include disability representation?
