The Vanishing + Q&A with Dr Christina Brennan

15-05-2025 at 19:00

Certificate:

Synopsis

A young couple, Rex and Saskia, are on a summer cycling trip in rural France. During a regular stop-off at a service station, Saskia disappears. Rex is haunted by what happened to Saskia and will stop at nothing to find out what happened to his girlfriend. Only one man knows Saskia's fate. After stalking Rex and following his obsessive efforts to retrace Saskia's final steps, he offers to reveal the truth to Rex - but at a terrible price.

This terrifying film by Dutch director George Sluizer is a slow-burn psychological thriller that offers a closer look at the mundanity of evil. The haunting plot lulls its audience into a false sense of security but turns into a dark, almost Gothic tale of grief and obsession.

Additional Info

The Vanishing will be introduced by Dr Christina Brennan, author of the first book made about this film. Her talk will cover the inspiration for The Vanishing and its adaptation from the Dutch crime novel of the same name. She’ll also cover the film's production history, critical reception, and comparisons to Hitchcock's most famous films.

This screening will be at Nottingham Central Library rather than our usual venue! Details in the booking link as always.
