It’s a locked-room mystery with a twist.
The Invisible Witness is a standard thriller, true, but it’s done well. A rich Italian businessman is having an affair he wants to end. He wants to return to being a regular family man. But his gorgeous lover wants to keep the affair going. Then something bad happens, and he ends up as the suspect in his lover’s murder. Did he kill her or not? And did he also play a part in a car crash that killed a young man visiting his parents in rural Italy? The director keeps all the balls in the air until the very end of the film. Great stuff.
The Invisible Witness screens tonight and tomorrow at the 45th Seattle International Film Festival. Further details here. Check out The Stranger‘s complete SIFF guide here.
