The filmmaking duo of Hélène Cattet and Bruno Forzani have previously paid homage
to the Italian genres of giallo (Amer,
The Strange Colour of Your Body's Tears) and spaghetti western (Let the Corpses Tan). Now with Reflection in a Dead Diamond they deliver their
take on the Italian Euro-spy thrillers of the 1960s.
The film stars Italian screen legend Fabio Testi as an elderly
former spy who is forced to confront his past when his neighbour
mysteriously disappears.
Yannick Renier, Koen De Bouw, Maria de Medeiros, Thi Mai Nguyen and Céline Camara also star.
Check out the teaser below.
The official synopsis reads:
John D, a retired spy in his 70s residing in a luxurious hotel on the French Riviera, is fascinated by his new neighbor, who kindles his memories of the Riviera's vibrant days in the 1960s. When his neighbor vanishes without a trace, John is forced to confront his past demons.
