The Vanishing (Dutch: Spoorloos, literally: "Without a Trace" or "Traceless"; French: L'homme qui voulait savoir, literally: "The Man Who Wanted to Know") is a 1988 psychological thriller film co-written and directed by George Sluizer, and starring Bernard-Pierre Donnadieu, Gene Bervoets, and Johanna ter Steege in her feature film debut.
