“Danger. Desire. Desperation.”
In Paris, an American doctor's world unravels when his wife disappears without a trace. His frantic search through the city's labyrinthine bureaucracy and indifferent law enforcement reveals a tale of enigmatic encounters and cryptic clues. A defiant young woman emerges as a key figure, yet her motives remain inscrutable. Denis Villeneuve's debut feature, "Frantic," is a cerebral thriller that mines the alienation and disorientation of a foreign landscape, where every person and document may hold the key to unraveling the mystery.
