- Fans of crime literature no doubt recognize the name Georges Simenon. Creator of the much-loved Inspector Maigret, the late Simenon is considered one of the greatest crime fictionalists in modern history. The oft adapted author’s work is again heading to the silver screen with Stain in the Snow, directed by Scot filmmaker David MacKenzie (Young Adam) for Studio Hamburg International. The story follows the seedy exploits of Frank Friedmaier, a disturbed young man who at nineteen is already a seasoned criminal. Fatherless with a brothel-running mother, his cold and callous nature leads him down a path of self-torture – subject matter perfectly juxtaposed against the backdrop of Nazi-occupied France. Mackenzie should be right at home with Simenon’s bleak, hard-edged style having explored similar depths in his previous films. The project has the blessing of Chorion, the executors of Simenon’s estate, and is actively involved in the scripting process along with Shi.
