'Suspension of Disbelief' (2012)
Thriller.
Starring Sebastian Koch, Lotte Verbeek, Emilia Fox and Julian Sands
Director: Mike Figgis
Martin Jones (Sebastian Koch) is a successful screenwriter who electrifies a class of students with his pungent observations, like attempting to explain why audiences feel real emotion for characters they know are fictional.
Martin's daughter Sarah (Rebecca Night) is a young actress. Her mother Claire (Emilia Fox) was a famous actress who suddenly vanished one day after humiliating her husband in a restaurant and throwing a glass of wine in his face. Fifteen years later, Martin is writing a brooding screenplay about the incident.
At Sarah’s 25th birthday party, he’s attracted to Angelique (Lotte Verbeek), a sultry French temptress; the next morning she’s found dead in a canal. Murder? Inspector Bullock (Kenneth Kranham) drops round to ask Martin a few questions and wonders if they spent the night together. But before he can get an answer, he gets side-tracked by asking the writer to read a script he’s written.
At the morgue, Angelique’s assembled acquaintances do a double-take when a young woman with a suitcase appears looking exactly like the drowned woman. It’s her twin sister Therese (Lotte Verbeek). She ends up a guest in Martin and Sarah’s deluxe home, waiting for the police to conclude their investigation, while sending out subtle sexual signals to both father and daughter.
