Synopsis: Venice, All Hallows' Eve, a few years after the end of the Second World War. This is the home of the famous detective Hercule Poirot, now retired. Having devoted his life to solving crimes and witnessing the worst in human beings, he has given up his vocation as an investigator. And while he does everything to avoid being confronted with criminal cases, it's often they that catch up with him...

Unlike previous adaptations, Mystery in Venice boasts a darker, more disquieting atmosphere, flirting with gothichorror. The plot, centered on a seance in a haunted Venetian palace, plays with the idea of the paranormal and illusions. This atmosphere could appeal to fans of thrillers with fantastic overtones, such as The Others or The Ninth Gate.

This film will appeal to viewers who appreciate sophisticated detective stories, but also to those who enjoy chilling mysteries where you never know whether events are of rational or supernatural origin.

With this third installment, Kenneth Branagh presents a more introspective and vulnerable version of Poirot, confronted with his own fears and beliefs. Far from the splendor of the Nile or the luxury of the Orient Express, Mystery in Venice explores a more twilight and intimate side of the character, while remaining faithful toAgatha Christie's breathless narrative style.
