glad to see this gem of a flick get a mention here @ "the stranger". a moody character piece with subtle, yet potent atmosphere. the bar drink-off scene in particular between the 'hero' cop and the abusive husband was freaky... namely considering the amount of damn booze that was guzzled. i won't spoil anything for the readers who have yet to experience this strange little foreign film... do yourself a favor... sneak a little smoke... and absorb all the creepy nuances. p.s. don't get too distracted by the sub-titles, or you may lose the vibe.
