Anyone who's seen "Amer" will know what to expect...or maybe not, since Helene Cattet and Bruno Forzani's "The Strange Colour of Your Body's Tears" takes giallo-homage weirdness to new heights. We're in visual and audio overdrive here; this is like Argento on acid. It may not make much sense, if any, but then dreams and nightmares very seldom do and this is a fever-dream of a movie.
There's no point in even attempting to describe what passes for a plot; best to just let it all pass over you like the body's tears of the title. Giallo may be the most obvious influence but this horror movie isn't aimed at a mass audience and it will have a very limited appeal. It may look like brilliant cinema from a couple who clearly know their stuff but I found it very difficult to sit through and, worst of all, it seems endless.
