Um þessa kvikmynd

Summertime. A cruising spot for gay men, seeking nameless sexual encounters, is tucked away on the shores of a picturesque secluded lake in rural France. Franck is an attractive young male who falls in love with Michel, a striking, extremely potent but lethally dangerous man. Franck has witnessed this first hand, but his desire for Michel knows no bounds, this is a relationship he must have - at any cost. Stranger by the Lake is a tense thriller, set against the secluded back drop of, what becomes inevitably, the most dangerous lake in France. A provocative and accomplished effort by one of France's most overlooked auteurs, Stranger by the Lake is Alain Guiraudie's steamy mix of the comic and the tragic.

Einkunnir og umsagnir

Ok its got a good story line to it but there are a few hiccups. First it is in french and the most common language is English (which I speak) and quite a lot of people are heterosexual not homosexual ( they aren't gay and will take offence to this film).

This story should resonate with many gay men...at least some of it.

Liked this movie a lot sad ending though,
