The Vanishing AKA Spoorloos

The Vanishing AKA Spoorloos
Golden Egg Films
27 October 1988
Mystery, sort of
DVD
B-


Both tense and understated, with very little actual violence but a constant threat.  It's not quite a mystery, or a crime drama either, but more a gradual unwrapping of the story.  The ending didn't entirely work for me, although it does offer closure of a sort, so I can't go with a B or higher.  Director George Sluizer co-adapted Tim Krabbé's novel with Krabbé.
