Trivial / La Disparue de Deauville
Series: Rendez-Vous with French Cinema 2008 [February 29 - March 9]
Director: Sophie Marceau, Country: France, Release: 2007, Runtime: 103

Since the suicide of his wife, detective Jacques Renard (Christophe Lambert) hasn’t been able to pull it together, each day seemingly as much of a drudge as the day before. When a mysterious woman advises him to check out the Hotel Riviera in Deauville, Renard discovers that the hotel’s owner, Antoine Berangere (Robert Hossein), has been missing for two days, according to Antoine’s son and wheel-chair bound second wife (Marie-Christine Barrault). A terribly disfigured corpse turns up at the local morgue, and the police and the family declare the mystery of Antoine’s disappearance solved — but Renard’s not buying it. Sophie Marceau, one of France’s most popular actresses, devises for her second film as a director an intriguing thriller filled with supernatural overtones gleaned from a century of movie mysteries. Each time the movie’s direction appears to be clear, it unexpectedly veers off into uncharted territory.
