At a cruising spot for men, tucked away on the shores of a lake in the picturesque south of France, Franck falls in love with Michel, an attractive, potent and lethally dangerous man. Franck knows this, but wants to live out his passion anyway. "Stranger by the Lake" is perhaps one of the sexiest, most elegant thrillers ever made.

Notes
Erotic! Dreamy! Suspenseful! Hitchcockian! Subtitles hard to read at some places, but not a serious distraction.
