Following in the footsteps of Blue is the Warmest Color, Alain Guiraudie‘s sun-soaked psychological thriller is even more explicit in its depiction of gay sex (this time between men), eventually to the point of indulgence. Despite a few good jolts near the end, and all of the passionate coupling, Stranger is curiously bloodless as both a drama and a slow-burning psychological thriller.Set entirely at a lakeside cruising spot, the film opens with Franck (Pierre Deladonchamps) arriving at the start of his summer. Though he’s attracted to the fit, tan, and mustachioed Michel (Christophe Paou), he’s unable to woo him away from his current lover. Bored, Franck befriends the quiet, closeted Henri (Patrick d’Assumcao), and the two form a platonic relationship as Franck continues to lust after Michel from afar.

Now add water, rinse, and repeat. Aside from one significant development, which I won’t reveal, the majority of the film consists of shots of male bodies, frequently nude, either sunbathing or locked in passionate embrace. Guiraudie even mines some of it for humor, which is the film’s lone saving grace.Otherwise, the director’s languid pacing proves to be detrimental. Once the fascinating psychological dilemma is laid out, Stranger by the Lake refuses to shift in any way. Within the conceit is the potential for an unsettling exploration of desire and our ability to rationalize anything to get (and keep) what we want. Rather than slowly ratcheting up the tension, Guiraudie’s direction renders the narrative totally stillborn. The film runs just over 90 minutes, yet it feels so much longer, and in the worst possible way.

Beyond the direction and the pacing, the characters aren’t up to snuff either. The actors all seem perfectly capable, yet they are poorly served by the screenplay, which is as lazy with characterization as the directing is with atmosphere. Guiraudie wants to use sex to define these characters,(Download Stranger by the Lake) and that’s where Franck and Michel’s interactions go wrong. The initial sex scenes, as graphic as they are, are acceptable in their uncensored depiction of rampant lust. Yet the longer the film goes on, and the less Franck and Michel’s relationship actually progresses, the continued inclusion of the sex scenes becomes gratuitous. The duo’s sex life develops gradually, while the psychological developments come in contrived fits and starts.

Admittedly, the abrupt finale marginally raises the pulse, but it’s barely enough to undo the numbing sensation of all that came before. Concluding with a ludicrously drawn-out final shot, Stranger by the Lake frustrates and annoys, even when it momentarily engages. Ideas and ambition are important,(Download Stranger by the Lake) but they’re difficult to appreciate when coupled with misguided and lackluster execution. Though it ends in a flurry of motion, the majority of Stranger by the Lake is as listless and sun-dappled as the naked denizens of its titular setting.

Cannes last year are strongly marked by two LGBT film. In the main competition section is the most attention belonged to the infamous, the Palme d'Or-winning Adeline Life (La vie d'Adèle, Abdellatif Kechiche) ,(Download Stranger by the Lake) in the competition section Un Certain Regard Jury Prize was awarded for directing Unknown to the lake. In the past decade we have had the opportunity to see a good number of movies with gay themes, but only a few managed to get out outside the traditional schemes and frameworks in which the authors usually placed his movies. I am thinking more or less activist sign of these films are particularly keen to draw attention to injustice, inequality, homophobia and other incorrectness, which is the everyday homosexuals.

Such a reflection of reality in movies is quite expected and justified, but persistent repetition of these, let's call them classic LGBT motives are filmmakers often forgetting that it is a good movie to do something more than simply highlight the problem fixed. Feeling is that in recent years has reached a critical mass of films, which enabled the evolution of LGBT film. Or otherwise,(Download Stranger by the Lake) created the conditions for the formation of films such as Adelino life and Unknown to the lake. Adelino life so no more losing power on display inconvenience faced by young lesbian, but rather focus on a detailed dissection of universal design first love.

Similar to the way the uber Alain Guiraudie - Unknown to his lake tense psychological drama that can easily attract our attention and keeps us interested until the final scene. Guiraudieju was a great help himself by deciding that the film takes in only three locations,(Download Stranger by the Lake) forming a kind of microcosm in which players have almost no contact with the outside world, and therefore may behave completely relaxed and in accordance with their homosexuality. The primary scene is a remote shore of the lake, where in the summer are collected exclusively male. Among them, Franck, a young man in the early thirties, who for several years attending the beach at the lake.

A place where you can tan naked and watching other men in Adam costume, or with any of the visitors ignoring sex in the nearby forest. Handsome man as Franck is no shortage of offers for casual sex, but that instead express the gratification of sexual desire rather opt for friendship with Henry, a chubby man who from day to day lonely sits somewhere on the outskirts and away from watching the action on the beach. Henri, who is not really sure what it is (gay or bisexual),(Download Stranger by the Lake) Franck not physically attracted to, so new friends most of the time just chatting pleasantly. Then, Franck sees the handsome Michel, which is strongly attracted. Attractiveness is double sided, but Michael already has a (jealous) lover, who immediately takes a hostile defensive stance. When a few days later pulled out the body of Michael's partner, the beach gets a detective who begins to investigate the circumstances in which a young gay drowned.

What a stranger to the lake separated from the majority of LGBT films, the author's idea to make a film that will take a certain distance from the traditional motifs found sexual identity, everyday problems of homosexuals and similar things. Director homosexuality presents a relaxed and natural as the mere fact that here the function is very convenient starting point for the construction of Effect,(Download Stranger by the Lake) the suspension soaked psychological drama that viewers from work and voyeur in us waking up at the same time a strong desire to learn the motivation for the actions of the main protagonists. Guiraudie us without hesitation shows scenes of homosexual love, which for some viewers might be too illustrative, but in the same breath must be emphasized that there is a completely nesenzacionalistične scenes that help the viewer understand the motivation of actors and characterize their important relationships.

I think one of the main factors for good functioning of the film a great atmosphere, resulting from the spatial limitations of systematically or use only three recording locations and thoughtful framing, which is projected to like anxiety and feelings of being trapped in their own destiny. After the discovery of the body police investigation into the death of a young man becomes what the main narrative driver (at least in the classical sense), but the fact that viewers (and the two main protagonists) know the truth about the death of the unfortunate young man clearly indicate that the police investigation is merely a tool with which director creating favorable conditions for a detailed study of all aspects of (homosexual) desire,(Download Stranger by the Lake) passion and love. This motif is with us up to the (open) end, after which some time thinking about the central conflict in which stand on opposite sides of lust and morality. Alain Guiraudie has created a daring and complex film that presents true refreshment in the vast sea of similar brezidejnih movies and it will be interesting to see what a Frenchman has to offer in the future.
