Synopsis

With his wife's disappearance having become the focus of an intense media circus, a man sees the spotlight turned on him when it's suspected that he may not be innocent.

Cinema Atlas Connection
One of the films that I think about a lot is 'Gone Girl,' just in terms of how it plays with audience expectations and how it deals with female vengeance in a very particular, surprising way.

I look at things like Rosemary's Baby, a movie that I really admire, and I think about the psychology that can be created just by the framing of the camera and the lens choice and the performance that can be coaxed from an actor.
