Reflection in a Dead Diamond
John D., a retired spy, lives a peaceful life in a luxury hotel at the Côte d’Azur. His glamorous neighbour reminds him of his wild years as a secret agent in the 1960s, a time full of adventure and danger. When she disappears under mysterious circumstances, John is confronted with his past and old demons.
After their neo-western LAISSEZ BRONZER LES CADAVRES (2017), directors Hélène Cattet and Bruno Forzani return with REFLECTION IN A DEAD DIAMOND, a dazzling neo-giallo which takes place completely in the sunlight of the French Rivièra. While most thrillers take place in the shadows, they show here a visually overwhelming world full of lush architecture, fashion and cars.
REFLECTION IN A DEAD DIAMOND reunites nostalgia, excitement and visual wealth to a hypnotizing visual experience. For who loves stilistic, daring thrillers and wants to see the world of espionage in a surprising new light, this exceptional thriller offers an experimental mixture of suspense and elegance. Cult cinema for cinephiles!
