Stranger by the Lake by Alain Guiraudie.
Stranger by the Lake by Alain Guiraudie, whose next film Misericordia is coming soon to the U.S, plays at Braindead Studios on August 3!
Summertime. Passions run higher than fear in a cruising hotspot where a lonely visitor in search of companionship finds illicit thrills in the arms of a mysterious man whose dark and handsome good looks promise more than great sex. But when men begin to disappear on the beachside locale, the pair choose to continue their sweat-soaked trysts, uninhibited by the danger. In this arresting gay erotic thriller from writer-director Alain Guiraudie, bodies ripple like waves on the water and the tension rises with every thrust. Explicit and controversial, a sexy, queer cinema landmark. DCP, France, 2013, Drama, Strand Releasing, Drama, 97 mins, in French with English subtitles.
