Reflection in a Dead Diamond
Sun 16 Nov 18:00
John D (Fabio Testi), a septuagenarian living in a luxury hotel on Côte d’Azur, is intrigued by his next-door neighbour who reminds him of the wildest hours on the Riviera during the 1960s. At that time, he was a spy in a rapidly developing world full of promise. One day, this neighbour mysteriously disappears…bringing John face to face with his demons: are his former adversaries back to wreak havoc in his idyllic world?
Sounds straight-forward? Just you wait.
We’ve shown almost all of Cattet & Forzani’s films at Abertoir, and so we couldn’t resist a big screen outing for their latest. This is a fever-dream homage to the Eurospy genre with an aesthetic that could have been right out of the 60s. It’s stylish, artful and in-your-face filmmaking that deserves to be seen big and loud.
