The Girl in the Fog
Short description
A teenage girl vanishes without a trace on a foggy Christmas Eve in the Alpine village of Avechot. Specialist investigator Vogel, known for his ability to manipulate the media and track serial killers, arrives to lead the search. The investigation focuses on the girl's religious parents and a solitary local man. The narrative is framed by a later event in which a shocked Vogel is treated by psychiatrist Augusto Flores after a car accident, leaving him with no memory of recent events and blood on his clothes.
This crime thriller was written and directed by Donato Carrisi, marking the first of three films he has directed. It features Toni Servillo as Agent Vogel and Jean Reno as Dr. Augusto Flores, with a supporting cast including Alessio Boni, Lorenzo Richelmy, Galatea Ranzi, and Michela Cescon.
The film earned 5 million USD at the worldwide box office. Audience reception is consistent across platforms, with a rating of 6.8/10 on IMDb from 15,000 votes and 6.8/10 on TMDB from 1,094 votes. These scores are higher than the 5.8/10 rating provided by film critics.
What's left behind the scenes
- The film's nomination for the Italian National Film Award "David di Donatello" in the category of "Best Original Screenplay" caused confusion among both critics and audiences, as director Donato Carrisi based the film on his own novel, first published in 2015. Carrisi had to explain that the screenplay was technically original, as it was written before the novel, even though the film was shot later. However, the final credits of the film stated that it was based on the novel of the same name from 2015.
