Thriller. Mystery Following the disappearance of his wife, a man finds himself on a dark and twisted trail of discovery through the labyrinthine halls of his apartment building. Led on a wild goose chase by cryptic messages from his mysterious neighbours, he becomes entangled in a hellish nightmare as he unlocks their strange fantasies of sensuality and bloodshed

	Media	Author	Review
		Kate Muir The Times	"While rich with image, the film's plot seems to be chasing its own tail and the result is more boring than tense."
		Tom Russo Boston Globe	"It plays like snippets of stylistically inspired suspense whose impact could be far greater if story were any sort of priority."
		Simon Abrams rogerebert.com	"A confrontational fever dream film told from constantly shifting perspectives, and a chilly, dizzying trip into a genre defined by violently conflicting emotions (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"
		Martin Tsai Los Angeles Times	"What 'The Strange Color' lacks is the heart that separates a good film from a great one."
		Nicolas Rapold The New York Times	"[It] slices and dices the images and tropes of Italian giallo-style slasher films into an inert pile of style.
		Boyd van Hoeij The Hollywood Reporter	"A film as stylish as it is narratively labyrinthine (...) [It] will please a small niche audience but will leave regular arthouse audiences baffled and exhausted rather than enchanted"
		Mark Adams Screendaily	"It is a beautifully assembled film, packed with arresting images (...) but while it offers blood, strangeness and bold surreal moments it is also remarkably lacking in any emotional impact."
