“Sluizer’s direction is seamless throughout, effortlessly juggling domesticity and damnation as it ploughs inexorably towards an appalling denouement.”
Rex (Gene Bervoets) and Saskia (Johanna Ter Steege) are enjoying a biking holiday in France when, after stopping at a gas station, Saskia inexplicably disappears. Rex searches everywhere, but to no avail - and three years later is still obsessed with finding her… This genuinely unsettling Dutch thriller lingers in the mind long after the final credits roll and is one of the definitive cult classics of the 1980s.
