“A classic of a difficult and alienating kind, but one that really does shimmer in the mind like a remembered dream.”
Following Plein Soleil another film that centres on an identity theft.
A jaded and world-weary war correspondent (Jack Nicholson) researching a documentary in the Sahara Desert meets a gunrunner who dies suddenly. When the journalist notices that they have a similar appearance, he assumes the recently deceased's identity and accepts the consequences that it brings.
