Unlikely duo Marie (Charlotte Rampling) and Jean Drillon (Bruno Cremer) are hopelessly in love with each other. But when Jean suddenly disappears into the ocean, Marie refuses to believe he might be dead and instead continues to speak with him and think he’s actually with her. Rampling is outstanding in a very difficult role made even more challenging by François Ozon’s (Swimming Pool, Criminal Lovers) relentlessly uneasy directing. Under the Sand is screening August 20 & 21 as part of MoMA’s “Hot and Humid: Summer Films from the Archives” series, which continues through September 7 with such seasonal dramas as Spike Lee’s Do the Right Thing, Michelangelo Antonioni’s L’Avventura, and Martin Scorsese’s Taxi Driver.
