I'm looking forward to Stranger by the Lake. Saw the preview, looks like Guiraudie learned something in the last 10 years. Focus, focus! Doesn't matter what you focus on so much. Just focus. Lots of propositions in this movie. Some of them are sexy. Some (not many) of them are funny. Some are yummy - the Golden Hour seemed to show up a lot, and the lighting in general was pretty cool. But to talk about Magical Realism or Surrealism in terms of this film seems to overstate the case. It's more like an active but unruly imagination in love with cinema, and all of its coolest moments - can we make the frogs rain down like they did in Magnolia?

He thinks he's making Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie, but he's really making The President's Analyst.
