Glossy 60s thriller - Frantic review by AER
Frantic begins with an intriguing mystery - while on holiday, a man's wife vanishes from their hotel? Where did she go? Did she run away? Was she kidnapped? Did she simply get lost in the city? Well, we've been here before (or is that since?) - while the film is watchable, as the riddle gets untangled, the story becomes less interesting and the plot more ridiculous. In the end, films like this ended up starring Liam Neeson. It's nice to see Paris in the 80s, and Grace Jones' music gets a lot of plays. Other than that, it stands up better than a lot of big 80s films, but what was probably once seen as sophisticated, doesn't dazzle anymore. There's a very nice scramble on rooftops which is memorable, and a decent score by Ennio Morricone too. MOR thrills and some good performances from all (in the 80s larger than life style).
