John D, a septuagenarian living in a luxury hotel on Côte d’Azur, is intrigued by his next-door neighbour who reminds him of the wildest hours on the Riviera during the 1960s. At that time, he was a spy in a rapidly developing world full of promise. One day, this neighbour mysteriously disappears, bringing John face to face with his demons: are his former adversaries back to wreak havoc in his idyllic world? Swift, blood-stained, decade-jumping Reflection in a Dead Diamond is an action-packed mystery homage to the 1960s Eurospy films that premiered at the Berlinale. Belgian husband-wife filmmakers Hélène Cattet and Bruno Forzani have previously directed Amer, The Strange Colour of Your Body’s Tears and Let the Corpses Tan.
