Adapted for the screen by Birgitta Bongenhielm, directed by Daniel Alfredson, and based on the international best-seller by Hakan Nesser, Intrigo: Death of An Author stars Ben Kingsley.
The story is an intense, riveting thriller that keeps you guessing. After an author named David, played by Benno Fürmann, plots the seemingly accidental murder of his wife, played by Tuva Novotny, her body is never recovered.
He’s convinced that she’s still alive. Meanwhile, as David translates the final novel by a writer who also died mysteriously, he finds himself attracted to the man’s sultry widow. Fact or fiction, life, or death in his tale, nothing is guaranteed.
The cast includes Michael Byrne, Veronica Ferres, Daniela Lavender, Tor Clark, David Lowe, Jason Riddington, Sandra Dickinson, Angus Kennedy, Annamaria Serda, Elizabeth Counsell, Clarence Smith, Ed Cooper Clarke, Sian Webber, Christopher Crema, Peter Cirica, Gordan Kičić, Andria Kazelas, and Ivona Kustudić.
The second trailer is much better and explains the storyline. With that, it looks like a lot of twists and turns.
