This is the highly accliamed Dutch/French original. Sluizer's remake (The Vanishing, 1995) was panned by critics, and serves to illustrate the quality of the original.

Synopsis
Well, this is a thriller/mystery, and the title says it all. Rather than give the detailed Wikipedia synopsis with the spoiler, much better to watch this film. The ending is very good, and the film as a whole has a rather distinct structure (or lack of it). 

(Wikipedia, part)
A Dutch couple, Rex Hofman (Gene Bervoets) and Saskia Wagter (Johanna ter Steege), are on a cycling holiday in France. Their car runs out of gas and they are stranded inside a tunnel. They quarrel for a while, but make up and eventually get going again.

Later they stop at a gas station. Here Saskia goes into the shop for drinks and never returns. [...]

Rex can not accept his loss and three years after her vanishing he still compulsively looks for her. [...] This is ruining his new relationship with a girl who tries her best to adjust and make him get over the incident. Then he meets up with a chemistry teacher, Raymond, who admits to her kidnapping...

Raymond finally invites Rex to the very same park and gas station where Saskia disappeared, with the promise that he will tell him what had happened to Saskia. And then...
