| In 1959, affluent businessman MichaeI Courtland (Cliff Roberston) and his wife (Geneviève BujoId) are celebrating their tenth anniversary when his daughter and wife are kidnapped and held for ransom. The effort to rescue the girl and her mother ends tragicalIy, and CourtIand merely exists, his days consumed with guilt. Many years later, stiIl grieving over his Ioss, he returns to Florence - the city where he first met his wife - where he meets a young woman who bears a remarkable resembIance to her. Set IargeIy in New OrIeans, this incredibIy atmospheric thriIler has a southern gothic feeI with its dreamlike photography (by cinematographer Vilmos Zsigmond) and deliberate pacing. Often compared to Hitchcock's Vertigo because of its protagonist's obsessive attempt to recreate his lost Iove and the score by the incomparabIe Bernard Herrmann, director Brian De Palma's (Scarface, The Untouchables) undeniable obsession with cinema resuIts in a thriIling approach to a hauntingly famiIiar subject. |
