La fille dans le brouillard

A mystery thriller set in a village called Avechot, it is located in the hazy Italian mountain, there arrives a police inspector , Agent Vogel : Tony Servillo and a sub-Inspector : Lorenzo Richelmy to investigate the sudden disappearance of a 15-year-old teenager girl. The stubborn Inspector Vogel interrogates the villagers, but nobody tells the whole truth. Along the way, he meets a psychologist : Jean Reno whom eventually the inspector tells about some events.

An intriguing and riveting thriller with tension, plot twists, thrills and magnificent interpretations. There are several interesting characters, all of them are suspicious people, but in the foggy Italian village Avechot nothing is what it seems. Here stands out the great actor Toni Servillo giving a fabulous acting, as usual. This veteran actor got his big hit with The Great Beauty, following other successes as Il Divo, Silvio, Let Yourself Go, The Confessions and Into the the Labyrinth. Servillo is well accompanied by a good support cast, such as : Alessio Boni as a suspect professor, Lorenzo Richelmy as Inspector helper, Greta Scacchi as an unsettling journalist and of course Jean Reno as a psychiatrist.

It displays a thriling and moving musical score by Vito Lo Re, as well as adequate and colorful cinematography by Federico Masieroti This fascinating motion picture was compellingly directed by Donato Carrisi at his film debut, adaptating accurately his best-selling eponymous novel . Donato provides tense directorial with suspense, nail-biting scenes and surprising finale. Donato subsequently directed Into the Labyrinth 1919 with Dustin Hoffman and Toni Servillo himself. Rating : 7/10. Better than average. The movie will appeal to Toni Servillo and Jean Reno fans.

This Hollywood style Italian movie is not bad if you can look past some of the over the top acting.

This was a beautifully crafted movie which kept me engaged all the way to the end.

However, about that end ... there were way too many twists and too many questions left unanswered. And the very last twist came from left field with nothing to substantiate it.

I was left asking too many questions.

If you want to get wrapped up in a movie and enjoy the ride, this is a good one for that. However, the ultimate destination is confusing and unsatisfying.

Things kept happening in a complicated story but the eventual solution is beyond belief.Jean Reno stars.

A crime thriller - I thought that Jean Reno would have a bigger role in this, but that aside (which should not bother you either), this is quite an intriguing story. And it will keep you guessing - there are certain things of course that are either true or false. By that I mean, if you guess one major thing correctly, it's not that you have heightened senses or anything like that - it is just one or the other, so hurray for guessing right.

Still overall the movie might wear you down with its pacing. A slow burn and a thriller that warrants more than one watch, to see if you can spot certain clues the second time around. Very fine acting and a more than decent story make this a fine watch
