¡Qué horror! 2014
Candidate #10
Bruno
Forzani and Hélène Cattet take their particular brand of neo-giallo--as seen in past ¡Qué horror! candidate Amer--even further in the kaleidoscopic phantasmagoria of L’Étrange Couleur des Larmes de ton Corps.
What
begins with the mysterious disappearance of a wife very quickly leads us into a
dizzying realm where narrative all but breaks down, and dream logic overwhelms
the proceedings; this is like an Argento giallo
on a bad acid trip. It’s about eroticism, obsession, and quite unsurprisingly,
death.
I
imagine, if you enjoyed Amer, then
chances are, you’ll enjoy L’Étrange Couleur…
as well.
But
if your test drive of Amer wasn’t
quite to your liking (and I did say it was the sort of film that wasn’t for everyone),
then I’d avoid getting behind the wheel of this one too…
