An accident at the hotel puts all three in danger. As they escape together across the Greek islands and villages, the couple come to depend on Rydal who speaks fluent Greek and knows people who can help them. Noticing Rydal’s attraction to his wife, Chester MacFarland would much rather be alone with Colette. Before long, MacFarland drops the mask of the fine gentleman and shows his true colours.
In this story the figure of Colette is both Greek goddess and femme fatale – just like one of Alfred Hitchcock’s muses. Indeed, director Hossein Amini, who wrote the screenplay for Drive, revisits Hitchcock’s style for this Patricia Highsmith adaptation. Accompanied by Alberto Iglesias’ brilliant score, the trio of Viggo Mortensen, Oscar Isaac and Kirsten Dunst chase each other across the shimmering Greek landscape of the sixties.
