Review

With cinematic masterpieces such as Rosemary’s Baby (1968), Chinatown (1974), and Tess (1979) already under his belt, director Roman Polanski took on the neo-noir flick Frantic (1988), not to be confused with the same-named French film from 1958. Like his past pics, this thriller includes irony, danger, and a gorgeous woman at the center of the story. In the R-rated movie, Harrison Ford plays an American doctor whose dream vacation turns into a nightmare when his wife Sondra (Betty Buckley) disappears from their Parisian hotel room while he’s taking a shower. The frightening development sets off a paranoid journey for Dr. Richard Walker (Ford) when his search leads him on a nebulous web of political intrigue. Along the way, he runs into a mysterious woman named Michelle (Emmanuelle Seigner). Not only does she give the movie some stunning eye candy, her character provides the good doctor with some substantial leads. Equally substantial is the size of Ms. Seigner’s ravishing rack. In fact, we get to peek at her naked peaks when the skintastic actress peels off a form-fitting outfit within Ford’s view. She’s standing with her bare back to him in a white doorway as he tries to resist peeping on her. One wonders if David O. Russell was influenced by this imagery since the shot looks a lot like Jennifer Lawrence taking off her top near Bradley Cooper in Silver Linings Playbook (2012). Indeed, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery — even when the starlets involved are far from flat!
