"Stranger by the Lake" is the sexit and most elegant thriller years, and 's a damn shame stands so ltle chance of travelg beyond the niche of a "gay film" will probably get squeezed to.

The film is all about Franck (Pierre Deladonchamps), a svelt young gay who hangs around a pick-up spot at the edge of a lake the South of France.
It's also a very effective way of htg the spot wh well-livered funny dialogu and sequenc of pure homosexual self-risn which unclench the spectator's zygomatic bon.
