Mississippi Mermaid
(Franois Truffaut, France, 1969, 35mm, 123 min)
Inspired by Hitchcock and dedicated to Jean Renoir, Franois Truffaut's updating of Cornell Woolrich's story stars Jean-Paul Belmondo as a wealthy industrialist living on a remote island in the Indian Ocean and Catherine Deneuve as a lovely, double-crossing mail-order bride. When Deneuve empties his bank account and disappears, Belmondo follows her back to Europe and straight into a whirlpool of murder and deceit. Mixing noir and romantic melodrama, the film creates a complex melange of guilt, obsession and l'amour fou.
