Frantic
(1987)
Roman Polanski’s FRANTIC is an
engaging thriller in the tradition of Alfred Hitchcock. Harrison
Ford plays Richard Walker, an American heart surgeon vacationing
with his wife, Sondra (Betty Buckley), in Paris, where he is to
attend a medical convention. Sondra suddenly and unexpectedly
disappears from the couple’s hotel room while Richard is taking
a shower, and when she doesn’t return after several hours, he
decides to report the incident. But neither the French police nor
the U.S. embassy offers much help or even appears particularly
interested in his dilemma. On the brink of despair, Walker decides
to embark on an investigation himself, aided by Michelle
(Emmanuelle Seigner), a carefree, seductive gamine who is also
mixed up in the case, as he discovers after tracing back to her a
mysterious piece of switched luggage that he suspects his wife’s
kidnappers are after. When the mismatched duo finally succeed in
tracking down the perpetrators, it becomes apparent that the
stakes in this extortion scheme are far higher than they imagined.
Ford, cast somewhat against type, gives a credible, low-key
performance as the anxious Walker. Polanski also cowrote this
suspenseful film, assigning the female lead to his young wife (Seigner).

Runner (1982)
A jaded ex-cop in a totalitarian
future is forced out of retirement to hunt down a group of
genetically engineered superhumans bred for slavery. Seeing their
heroic struggle against an inhuman system, he ultimately falls in
love with one of them. This visually dazzling and boldly moral
film caught many critics napping when it first came out. In the
Director's Cut version of the film, the director has removed the
voice-over narration, as well as the "up" ending that
was made from outtakes of Kubrick's "The Shining."
Several key never-before-seen elements have also been added and
the result is a full immersion in Scott's gaudy, decaying police
state. Based on the novel "Do Androids Dream of Electric
Sheep?" by Philip K. Dick. Academy Award Nominations: Best
Art Direction-Set Direction, Best Visual Effects.
