Screening location: SIFF Film Center – 167 Republican St, Seattle (located within the Seattle Center, just north of Climate Pledge Arena / east of KEXP and The Vera Project)
The new film from the visionary directing duo of Hélène Cattet and Bruno Forzani (AMER, THE STRANGE COLOR OF YOUR BODY'S TEARS, LET THE CORPSES TAN), REFLECTION IN A DEAD DIAMOND is an ultra-stylish homage to 1960s Eurospy thrillers, blending surrealism with sharp social commentary.
When the mysterious woman in the room next door disappears, a debonair 70-year-old ex-spy living in a luxury hotel on the Côte d'Azur is confronted by the demons and darlings of a lurid past in which moviemaking, memories, and madness collide.
In English, French, and Italian (with English subtitles).
“…an impeccably styled arthouse-grindhouse crossover…” David Katz, IndieWire
“Cattet and Forzani create a total cinema within Reflection in a Dead Diamond—not because they manage to replicate reality but because they manage to eradicate it.” Marshall Shaffer, Slant
