FRANTIC
Sundance, 7:45 p.m. ET
This 1988 Roman Polanski movie uses the city of Paris as a primary character, as the backdrop for a Hitchcockian thriller about an ordinary man caught by an underworld of deadly intrigue. Harrison Ford – an excellent equivalent of Hitchcock’s favorite leading man, Jimmy Stewart – plays a doctor attending an overseas medical convention with his wife. After the wife vanishes, the good doctor searches Paris to find her, teaming up with the most unlikely of Paris guides: a young hedonist played by Emmanuelle Seigner. Really taut drama, beautifully photographed.
