December 3, 2025
7:30pm | SIFF Film Center
Presented by Grand Illusion Cinema
The new film from the visionary directing duo of Hélène Cattet and Bruno Forzani (Amer, The Strange Color of Your Body's Tears, Let the Corpses Tan), Reflection In A Dead Diamond is an ultra-stylish homage to 1960s Eurospy thrillers, blending surrealism with sharp social commentary.
SIFF year-round passes and vouchers are not valid for this screening.
When the mysterious woman in the room next door disappears, a debonair 70-year-old ex-spy living in a luxury hotel on the Côte d'Azur is confronted by the demons and darlings of a lurid past in which moviemaking, memories, and madness collide.
“Cattet and Forzani create a total cinema within 'Reflection in a Dead Diamond'—not because they manage to replicate reality but because they manage to eradicate it.”—Marshall Shaffer, Slant
