This film is totally over-rated. The fact that this film won the Palme d'Or at Cannes is only understandable given its political content. As for the rest, the direction is slow (a 20-minute short would have sufficed). The music by Vangelis is ....... flat and predictable. The shots are classic. The colours and film stock are banal. The dialogue is conventional and the digressions boring. Whether you're on the right or the left, this film, less exciting than a Wikipedia page, has absolutely nothing to please. It's a waste of time. I refuse to believe that Missing was the pinnacle of the 1982 film year.
