One of the great queer thrillers of modern cinema.

Set against the blazing summer heat of a secluded lakeside cruising spot in southern France, Alain Guiraudie’s hypnotic thriller follows Franck, a lonely man who becomes dangerously infatuated with a mysterious and seductive stranger. Blending erotic desire, existential dread, and Hitchcockian suspense, the film gradually transforms from sensual character study into one of the most tense and provocative thrillers of the 2010s.
