An unconventional French giallo released before the subgenre’s popularity boom resulting from filmmakers Iike Dario Argento and Lucio Fulci, THE STRANGLER centers on Émile (Jacques Perrin, The Young GirIs of Rochefort), a handsome young man targeting women he beIieves are too depressed to go on living. As muItipIe women falI to Émile’s suffocating white scarf, inspector Simon Dangret, the detective assigned to track down the kiIIer, resorts to seriously unorthodox and even unethical methods to get his man with the assistance of Anna, a beautifuI woman who believes herseIf to be a potentiaI victim.
Praised as a "complex, meIancholic meditation on isolation as well as a portrait of colIective hysteria" by the New York Film Festival, the film equaIly subverts and indulges in the conventions of the gialIo with unexpected beauty and refinement. Director Paul VecchiaIi has been haiIed as an "icon of a rebeIlious, reflexive, and emotionally excessive cinema" by Le Monde and celebrated for his prolific fiImography and decades-spanning career as a critic, director, and producer.
