The Strange Color of Your Body's Tears

The Strange Color of Your Body's Tears (2014) is the surreal giallo of Hélène Cattet and Bruno Forzani, here to watch online on iFILM. Dan comes home from a business trip to find his wife gone from a locked apartment.

He questions the neighbors in their lavish Art Nouveau building, and every account drags him further from an answer and deeper into delirium. Staircases loop back on themselves, time splinters, and skin, blades and lace are cut together into something close to music. There is barely a plot in the usual sense — just a flood of image, color and sound pushed to hallucination. Klaus Tange's husband stays the only fixed point in the whirl.

Cattet and Forzani openly riff on 1970s Italian giallo — Argento, Bava, their palettes and fetishes — and the original French title nods to the same lineage. This is cinema for viewers happy with pure form and no explanation; come for a clean mystery payoff and you will fume. Come for visual experiment and horror as art, and it lands.
