Film Synopsis

Arnold Samson works for an insurance company and is sent to Spain to investigate a claim by a film company whose sets were destroyed in a fire.  On his arrival at an inn, he meets an attractive young woman who nervously introduces herself as Sarah.  The girl appears to be deeply troubled, having been recently involved in a car accident.  When he arrives in the village where the abandoned film was being shot, Arnold is surprised to learn that Sarah (in truth Marie) is one of the actresses working on the film.  Could there be a connection between the fire and Sarah's mysterious disappearance from the set the day before?

The very best sci-fi movies

Science-fiction came into its own in B-movies of the 1950s, but it remains a respected and popular genre, bursting into the mainstream in the late 1970s.
The best of Russian cinema

There's far more to Russian movies than the monumental works of Sergei Eisenstein - the wondrous films of Andrei Tarkovsky for one.
The very best fantasy films in French cinema
