My Take
Alain Guiraudie is a director I admire precisely because he refuses to behave. Stranger by the Lake (2013) earned him the Best Director prize in Cannes' Un Certain Regard section and the Queer Palm, and it deserved both. The film takes a quiet cruising spot by a lake and slowly turns desire into dread. What I find rare is how he keeps making frankly queer, rural-set work without softening it for wider taste. He's been doing this since the 1990s, on his own terms. There's a stubborn, almost rustic patience to his filmmaking that I respect. He unsettles you without ever raising his voice.
