Wicker Park

Wicker Park is a 2004 American romantic thriller drama film directed by Paul McGuigan and starring Josh Hartnett, Rose Byrne, Diane Kruger and Matthew Lillard. It is a remake of the 1996 French film L'Appartement, which in turn is loosely based on Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, and follows a young advertising executive who searches obsessively for his ex-lover after she disappeared two years earlier. It was nominated for the Grand Prix at the Montreal World Film Festival, the city in which the film was partially filmed. The title refers to the Wicker Park neighborhood on Chicago's near northwest side. The film received generally negative reviews from critics, and was a box-office disappointment. Filmed on a budget of $30 million, Wicker Park grossed only $21.6
