    I don't know which film is Harrison's best - either this, FRANTIC or WORKING GIRL - but I much prefer this more sedate fare to his action stuff (which he is very, very good at)

    "Frantic" is a great film. I've wanted a physical copy for years, and every tine I find out one exists, it's already gone. (And yes, this is why I keep buying physical media. I'm not paying a service fee to five different companies for the rest of my life when I can have my own copy, thank you!!)

    The German book I had freshman year had a section about movies, like "would you like to go to the movies with me? What time? What movie is playing?" And it used Frantic as the example so it's always been funny to me, so I got the DVD at the thrift store, so I'm finally gonna watch it!

    Question - is this the first film use of the “relation/spouse goes missing and everyone gaslights the protagonist about never seeing them” trope? A tradition picked up in the Hitchcock Presents episode Into Thin Air (1955), Frantic (1988), Breakdown (1997), to an extent The Vanishing (1988) #filmsky

    As is often the case when I'm writing, I am in need of a distraction, so: why on EARTH is the Blu-ray re-release of "Frantic" already out of print?? Where are my film nerds? @chrisyogerst.com , I need answers!

    According to Land Report, Ford sketched plans for the property himself while filming the 1988 movie Frantic in Paris. Writes the outlet: “Each morning, as workmen arrived on his property in Jackson, a new set of painstaking instructions from France awaited them on the fax machine.”

    Frantic and unpredictable, this very adult animated movie plays like a fever dream in the best possible way. Along the way we run into emotional gorgons, psychotic dominatrix, mad inventors and a murderous cult looking for a sacrifice among other things.

    30+ years ago, my husband and I go to the theater for one last movie before the baby arrives. The film’s title? “Frantic.” A good description of a very pregnant woman trying to guess when she can dash to the rest room without losing the plot.

    "Frantic" is an engrossing and well made film that easily builds up a genuine sense of mystery and intrigue from the very beginning. It is incredibly well crafted throughout with an immediately interesting opening gambit and Roman Polanski is a seasoned director and he knows precisely how to create a natural and rhythmic momentum to the proceedings and to then successfully maintain it at a certain level without any evidence of indecision on his part in terms of how the film ought to proceed in…

    Movie starts off well enough with the mystery element but afterward tonally felt a bit off (veered into moderate comedy at points). Ford is fine as was Emmanuelle Seigner, though I wonder if this could've used the eye of Brian De Palma rather than Polanski. 3.25/5
