Un bruit qui rend fou (English: THE BLUE VILLA) is a 1995 crime thriller film with Fred Ward.
The complexly interwoven lives of the residents of an isolated Greek island form the basis of this psycho-sexual drama from iconoclastic film-maker Alain Robbe-Grillet.
Living on the island are a few native Greeks, several Chinese, who spend their days playing mah-jongg, Nordmann, a boozy screenwriter, and seductive Sarah la-Blonde,
the madam at the Blue Villa, the town whorehouse, in which Sarah hides Santa, alias Lotus Blossom. Sarah is teaching Santa to sing an aria from Wagner.
One day, Frank, who could be a ghost, arrives on the island. At first he never speaks and appears to be looking for something or someone. It is later learned
that he was involved in the supposed death of Santa, who just might be Nordmann's daughter. It is up to the local police chief, Thieu,
to figure out what parts of the story are true and what parts are fiction.
