[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for True Detective: Night Country Season 4, Episode 6, “Part 6.”] True Detective: Night Country finally saw daybreak for Detectives Liz Danvers (Jodie Foster) and Evangeline Navarro (Kali Reis) as the mystery behind Annie K’s (Nivi Pedersen) death was solved. But their ending goes far beyond the solving of Annie’s murder as the women were forced to confront their own traumas to move forward in life. After arriving at the ice caves Otis Heiss (Klaus Tange) pointed out on a map to Danvers in Episode 5, she and Navarro descended into the narrow channels below the surface in search of Annie’s murder site. Falling through some thin ice even further below ground, they come face-to-face with elusive scientist Raymond Clark (Owen McDonnell) and chase him into an underground lab that happens to be located beneath Tsalal Research Station. It’s here that Danvers and Navarro recognize the location as the site of Annie’s murder, ...

This article contains spoilers for True Detective: Night Country episode 6.
Coming in at a full two episodes shorter than previous seasons, True Detective: Night Country has a lot to accomplish in its sixth and final episode.
Going into “Part 6,” viewers still don’t know who killed Annie Kowtok (Nivi Pedersen), what happened to the dead scientists (plus the missing Raymond Clark), or what’s going on with the shady partnership between Tsalal Arctic Research Station and Silver Sky Mining. And that’s not even to mention all the spooky ghosts and ghouls prowling around Ennis, Alaska.
Thankfully, the True Detective: Night Country finale provides answers to most of these questions while giving us some tools to make educated guesses about the others. Here is what happens in True Detective season 4 episode 6 and what it all means.

"This is a world where nothing is solved. Someone once told me that time is a flat circle. Everything we have ever done or will do, we're gonna do over and over and over again."
Matthew McConaughey's Rustin Cohle utters these words in season 1 of "True Detective," underlining the Theory of Eternal Recurrence, a thought experiment meant to test out one's emotional response to a never-ending, cyclical loop. Rust's words are tinted by a sense of nihilism, as he is at a point where he believes that there is no way to break through this loop, where evil will always find a way to manifest in cyclical ways throughout time. Even though the case is eventually solved, it is not truly put to rest — while a more optimistic Rust acknowledges a sliver of hope on the horizon, some questions go unanswered,...

True Detective: Night Country has been an atypical season of HBO‘s crime anthology for numerous reasons.
For starters, this fourth season is the first to receive its own subtitle, with “Night Country” capturing the pervading darkness of northern Alaska. Night Country is also the first True Detective season to not feature the involvement of original creator Nic Pizzolatto. Stepping in as showrunner is indie auteur Issa López who grafted her own vision of two female detectives solving an icy mystery onto the usual True Detective format. The biggest difference between Night Country and a “normal” season of True Detective, however, may only becoming apparent to folks this week as episode 6 marks the sudden conclusion of this story.
That’s right: unlike seasons 1, 2, and 3, True Detective season 4 features six episodes rather than the usual eight. That should come as either devastating news to viewers just getting into the case...

This post contains spoilers for the fifth episode of "True Detective: Night Country."
A lot is going down in "True Detective: Night Country" at the moment, as the mysterious Tsalal fiasco and the unsolved Annie K murder have been proven to have closer ties than ever before. With a ton of leads pointing towards dead ends, detectives Liz Danvers (Jodie Foster) and Evangeline Navarro (Kali Reis) finally made a breakthrough after cornering Otis Heiss (Klaus Tange), a drifter who drew the map for the ice caves before 1998. Thanks to the efforts of Officer Peter Prior (Finn Bennett), Danvers links the fate of Anders Lund with that of Heiss, whose corneas burned and ears ruptured after a terrible mining accident years ago. When Danvers finds Heiss, he utters the phrase "Night Country," and hints at how it might be an actual space linked to the horrifying events in Ennis.

Spoiler Alert: This interview contains spoilers from “Part 5,” the fifth episode of HBO’s “True Detective: Night Country,” now streaming on Max.
Poor, wrong-headed Hank — with his broken “90 Day Fiancé” heart, and his thwarted dreams of being police chief — is dead. And by the hand of his son, Peter, no less.
At the end of “Part 5″ — the penultimate episode of creator Issa López’s “True Detective: Night Country” — investigators Liz Danvers (Jodie Foster) and Evangeline Navarro (Kali Reis) are about to defy direct orders. In the episode’s final moments, they’re heading off on a New Year’s Eve quest to find the caves where Annie Kowtok died — to try to solve her murder, as well as the mysterious deaths of the Tsalal scientists.
But the scene that preceded that coda was the most pivotal of the series so far.
Liz has checked the engineer Otis Heiss (Klaus Tange) out of the hospital,...

Spoilers follow.
Well, we're five episodes into "True Detective: Night Country" and the mystery just keeps getting more... mysterious. What caused a group of research scientists to perish in apparent anguish on the Alaskan tundra? How is that linked to the murder of Annie Kowtok, an Indigenous woman whose body was found dumped in the small town of Ennis some years before the discovery of the scientist's bodies? And how does the spiral from season 1 fit into all of this?
At this point, there's all sorts of speculation among fans, including talk of pollution causing the inhabitants of Ennis, Alaska to lose their minds, and even a potential Lovecraftian creature that would finally fulfill the cosmic horror promises of season 1. Considering new showrunner Issa López's penchant for weaving the paranormal with gritty realism, as evidenced in her 2017 feature "Tigers Are Not Afraid," it wouldn't be completely out of the...

This post contains spoilers for episode 4 of "True Detective: Night Country."
The first season of "True Detective" feels so eerie and ominous for a reason. Detectives Rust Cohle (Matthew McConaughey) and Marty Hart (Woody Harrelson) find a corpse in the Lousiana woods and end up in some old stone ruins in the bayou that symbolize the nexus of evil. The latest season, "True Detective: Night Country," also ties the evils that grip the mining town of Ennis to the nature of the town itself; the long and cold Alaskan nights underline the unforgiving nature of existence in that space. Most people in the town are cold and bitter, hardened by the cruelties of life. Some, like Liz Danvers (Jodie Foster), use their coldness to crack down on seemingly unsolvable mysteries. Others, like Evangeline Navarro (Kali Reis), put on a tough front to protect the tender compassion they harbor deep within.

Rose Aguineau (Fiona Shaw), the most intriguing character among a frozen sea of eccentrics, shed a little light on a life that appears, at turns, fabulous and ravaged. After greeting Missy Navarro (Kali Reis) dressed to the nines for a Christmas Eve feast, Rose — whose sole tie to this case is that she discovered the (mostly) dead scientists, with an assist from the ghost of her former lover, Travis (who may be Rust Cohle’s father) — took a brief respite from imparting wisdom about the afterlife to tell her guest a snippet of her past: Rose, it turns out, used to be a professor. “A very serious professor, in a very serious school, writing very serious ideas,” she says. But one day, while grading a particularly dull paper, she came to realize that her life...

February is known as Women in Horror Month, when the spotlight is put on female filmmakers working inside our favorite genre, and many horror sites run pieces about movies directed by women. And that’s great! But there’s no reason why that spotlight should be limited to only one month, particularly when there are so many brilliant and talented female filmmakers working in the genre. Why not use this October to hit up these titles on Shudder and get to know some of the most exciting female voices in horror right now?

Close-Up is a column that spotlights films now playing on Mubi. Hélène Cattet & Bruno Forzani's The Strange Colour of Your Body's Tears (2013) is showing February 4 - March 6 and Dario Argento's Deep Red (1975) is showing February 5 - March 7, 2017 in the United Kingdom in the double feature Giallo/Meta Giallo.“I know it when I see it.” Like film noir, the giallo is one of those genres as easy to pin down as it is difficult to define. More often than not, what constitutes a giallo rests on a given film’s balance of emblematic imagery and an archetypal storyline, while other factors like tone, score, and setting will also play a part in its classification. Arguably no filmmaker has had a more stylish and deftly rigorous hand in establishing these defining traits than Dario Argento. And his 1975 film, Deep Red (Profondo Rosso), is perhaps as good as it gets,...

The Strange Color of Your Body’s Tears
Written and directed by Hélène Cantet & Bruno Forzani
France, 2013
The first 45 minutes of The Strange Color of Your Body’s Tears lay the foundation for a full-throated suspense thriller that might have felt at home in the ‘70s. Sadly, the last hour degenerates into a monotonous slash-fest that’s too preoccupied with its own weirdness to bother with our enjoyment. By the end, you may be unsure what is real and what is imagined, but you’re damn certain you no longer care.
Dan (Klaus Tange) returns home from a business trip to discover his wife is missing, despite the door chain still being attached. These early scenes are interspersed with enough flashbacks, flashforwards and plain-old-flashes to make you question Dan’s motivation and sanity. He frantically searches his ornate apartment building, festoon with plate glass and mysterious tenants. Writer-directors, Hélène Cattet & Bruno Forzani,...

Directing duo Helene Cattet and Bruno Forzani follow-up up their 2009 debut Amer with another hit from the giallo pipe, The Strange Colour of Your Body’s Tears, a visual masterpiece that will confuse, confound, and hypnotize you as it’s one of the most visually extravagant explorations of the gaudy and grotesque ever committed to film. Certain to be rejected by mainstream sensibilities, Cattet and Forzani go beyond just another stylistic homage to create a creepshow that actually surpasses its predecessors with its expert level of artistic and technical prowess.

A nipple is sliced off. A crotch is stabbed. Plastic, glove-clad hands creep beneath someone's skin and stretch, smother, rip. A man's stomach is slashed with shards of glass; later, he pulls the shards out. These are just a handful of the countless atrocities that occur and recur throughout Hélène Cattet and Bruno Forzani's claustrophobic scarefest The Strange Color of Your Body's Tears.
Torture and S&M fetishists will savor its every knife-plunging, blood-splattering, leather-crinkling moment. Everyone else should stay far, far away.

Influenced by the Italian Giallo movement, Belgium Writer/Director partners Helene Cattet and Bruno Forzani's second feature The Strange Colour Of Your Body's Tears continues in a similar vein to their 2009 erotic thriller, Amor and short O Is For Orgasm that made up 2012s' ABCs Of Death anthology.
A stressful opening onslaught of sound escalating in volume and tempo, contrasts with the quiet breathing of a man slumbering on a plane to the sound of its engine and sudden turbulence. Black and white snapshots in sinister freeze-frames show disturbed dreams accompanied by the amplified sound of a knife being pulled out of a corpse. Unnerving close-ups of frescos, stained glass windows and tilted shots looking up at an old Art Nouveau house introduce us to where the majority of the film's action takes place before a kaleidoscopic effect and loud crunching noises reveal the film's lengthy title.

Dim the lights and light up the bong. The Strange Colour of Your Body's Tears is a ludicrous head trip of a movie, a wanton pastiche of the giallo genre of Italian pulp cinema, full of spirals and fractals, mystery and menace. Klaus Tange plays the sweaty figure searching for his missing wife, yet this irksome art movie is going nowhere fast. The directors, Hélène Cattet and Bruno Forzani, cherry-pick from Dali and Buñuel, Polanski and Argento. Then they sit down upon the cherries and proceed to squash them all to mush.

A teeth-grindingly, blood-boilingly infuriating cinematic trial that’s like an art school film project gone horribly awry. I’m “biast” (pro): nothing
I’m “biast” (con): not a fan of experimental film
(what is this about? see my critic’s minifesto)
A man arrives home from a business trip to discover his wife missing yet the door to their apartment chained from the inside. That’s about as coherent a moment to be found in this teeth-grindingly, blood-boilingly infuriating cinematic trial. As Dan (the Willem Dafoe-esque Klaus Tange: A Royal Affair) explores the gothic Art Nouveau building he and his wife live in, seeking clues to her disappearance — from the likes of the Miss Havisham up on the seventh floor, who tells a tale of her husband vanishing within the structure as well — we are “treated” to a phantasmagorical nightmare that’s like an art school film project gone horribly awry.

It's almost impossible to tell what's going in this hyperstylised horror thriller that's virtually one long, claggy dream sequence
This hyperstylised horror thriller plays like a feature-length advert for a perfume that would smell like tuberose, leather and rotting meat, with top notes of fake blood and old cheese.
The barely there plot concerns a man Dan Kristensen (Klaus Tange) who returns home from a business trip to find his wife has disappeared. She may have been murdered by someone or something within the gorgeous art nouveau apartment building in which they live. But it's almost impossible to tell what's going on, given the film is nearly all dream sequence, claggy with narrative digressions, flashbacks and freaky visuals, often of vagina-shaped head wounds, extreme close-ups of eyes, and a nipple being scraped with a knife that directors Hélène Cattet and Bruno Forzani like so much they show it six times.

The Strange Colour of Your Body’s Tears
Written and directed by Hélène Cattet and Bruno Forzani
Belgium/France/Luxembourg, 2013
Directing duo Hélène Cattet and Bruno Forzani’s debut feature Amer explored a young woman’s sexual awakening using traditional giallo tropes. An exercise in formalism, it treated giallo as pure aesthetic: a cinematic language with the potential to go beyond its usual generic applications. The Strange Colour of Your Body’s Tears, reportedly 11 years in the making, represents another stage in the development of this idea. More familiar yet more oblique, it plunges us into a surreal world where giallo is the only code of understanding, eschewing narrative in favour of startling images, symbols and style.
The premise, however, is a conventional one. Dan Kristensen (Klaus Tange) returns home from a business trip to find his wife missing and the door locked from the inside. Seeking help from his neighbours,...

The Strange Colour Of Your Body's Tears has been baffling and mesmerising audiences on the inernational festival circuit over the last few months. The second "arthouse giallo" (after 2009's Amer) from the writing/directing partnership of Hélène Cattet and Bruno Forzani, there's now a trailer online, pending the film's full release - in France, at least - next Spring.What you will correctly glean from this is that the film has a lot of close-ups of eyes. Plot-wise, you may also have gathered that it's something of a surreal experience, but on its most basic level it involves the nightmarish psychological journey of a man (Klaus Tange) searching for his wife, who has disappeared from their Parisian apartment, which was locked from the inside. Tange's investigations lead him to discover other disappearances from within the same opulently decayed apartment block, with flashbacks including the tale of the man upstairs who...

I've never been the biggest fan of Italian Giallo flicks, but one thing I will say about them is that they always seem to have the coolest titles. Hélène Cattet and Bruno Forzani (Amer) channel the spirit of Argento with their latest film, which boasts a title ripped straight out of the era.

★★★☆☆ Giallo fans rejoiced at the news that the fading genre's new premiere directing couple, Hélène Cattet and Bruno Forzani, were returning with their sophomore feature The Strange Colour of Your Body's Tears (2013). As with their critically successful feature debut, Amer (2009), its entrenched deeply in the visual and aural traditions of giallo but they have once again embraced style over substance pushing narrative cohesion even further from the focus of their lushly filled frame. It makes for a visceral, sensory experience that has perhaps worn out its welcome before the end of its 100-minute runtime.
The film's premise is arguably all that one can really, in all good faith, proffer of its plot with any degree of certainty; after the initial setup, it birls down a rabbit-hole into a kaleidoscopic labyrinth of gleaming blades, blood-curdling screams and psychosexual violence. After an initial opening that sees a brutal monochrome murder, the action...

A loud, visually assaultive assemblage of genre tropes as technically accomplished as it is difficult to watch, "The Strange Color of Your Body's Tears" has plenty to impress while simultaneously offering so little. The movie depicts the Kafkaesque experiences of a baffled man seemingly trapped in his eerie apartment building in the midst of a puzzling quest to find his missing wife. However, as with "Amer," directors Helene Cattet and Bruno Forzani's previous ode to the viscerally intense language of Italian giallos, the plot mainly provides a backdrop for an unending collage of disturbing images and histrionic music cues. "Body" tears gets under skin so deep it bleeds. After a black-and-white opening sequence depicts an erotically charged murder of a nude woman with unnerving stills of a knife dragged across her naked body, the movie immediately dives into the plight of Dan Kristensen (Klaus Tange) when he shows up...

Hot on the heels of Tiff 2013's Midnight Madness movie announcement comes word of the flicks playing as part of their Vanguard programme. Read on for details.
From the Press Release
The Vanguard programme takes audiences on a sensory rollercoaster ride with boundary-pushing international works that are bold and bodacious. Curated by international programmer Colin Geddes, this lineup brings the best in genre and arthouse together for a cinematic odyssey that eludes conventional definition.
“From revenge and ruin to sex, drugs and taxation, this programme challenges audiences to go places that no audience has gone before,” said Geddes. “Where Midnight Madness opens up audiences to a world of fear and fantasy, Vanguard plunges them into a confrontational and unnerving one that sometimes comes a bit too close to reality for comfort.”
