Season 3: Episode 119 - EUROPEAN HORROR: The Vanishing (1988)

The Vanishing (1988)

 

This Dutch thriller film directed by George Sluizer and based on the book The Golden Egg by Tim Krabbe, follows a man who searches obsessively for his girlfriend following her disappearance at a rest stop.

​

The film stars Bernard-Pieere Donnadieu, Gene Bervoets and Johanna ter Steege.

​

The film was put forward for an Oscar but as it was a Dutch film with too much French dialogue it was disqualified despite winning numerous awards upon its release around the world.

​

The film was adapted into a radio play for the BBC and was remade for the American audience using the same title starring Sandra Bollocks, Keifer Sutherland, Jeff Bridges and Nancy Travis.
