About The Disappearing Illusionist
In midwinter the German illusionist Dirk Ohm arrives in the small town Grong, a place ridden by the disappearance of a young local woman Maria. Dirk soon finds himself searching for Maria side by side with the villagers of Grong; and slowly he falls in love with the missing woman. This fictional story pays tribute to a real character, and to his mysterious disappearance in the winter of 2003.
Directed by Bobbie Peers, The Disappearing Illusionist leans on a strong ensemble — August Diehl, Sara Hjort Ditlevsen, Alexandra Rapaport — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2015.
