A suspenseful thriller in the vein of Alfred Hitchcock (director of "The Lady Vanishes"), THE CAT VANISHES is a tale of mistrust seeping into the relationship of a couple who know each other well. Luis and Beatriz are long-married spouses. He's a university professor and she's a translator. Together they lead a refined life full of books and classical music. But Luis is just being released from a psychiatric hospital after battering his academic assistant. (Convinced his former friend was plagiarizing his work on what was to be his magnum opus, Luis attacked him in a fit of delusional paranoia.) Beatriz is hesitantly eager to start over with the husband she loves. But Luis doesn't seem quite right: he's too cooperative; he's distant; he laughs at slapstick TV shows; he agrees to go to the beach. Plus, though he takes a daily cocktail of psychotropic drugs, it dawns on Beatriz that Luis might be behind the disappearance of her beloved cat. And she's convinced he's about to pounce on bigger prey. (In Spanish with subtitles) –B.B.
