The film is borderline installation-worthy, and would probably work just as well if the scenes were drastically re-arranged.

It's a confrontational fever dream film told from constantly shifting perspectives, and a chilly, dizzying trip into a genre defined by violently conflicting emotions.

Above all, its gratuitous graphic gore and exploitative nudity are unmistakably giallo. What "The Strange Color" lacks is the heart that separates a good film from a great one.

The main point of the film remains its style, which is so constantly and loudly reinforced that it’s often hard to concentrate on the story.

If you make it as far as the obvious, disappointing denouement, you might be left asking yourself if the filmmakers’ abstract style is better suited to short films.

One can never fully shake the feeling that the sense of unease the filmmakers rouse, every act of seduction, infiltration, and vengeance they orchestrate, is borrowed.

When does an exercise in style become a wearying ADD slog through blood-splattered pseudo-Freudian nonsense? When it’s The Strange Color of Your Body’s Tears.

I couldn't understand what is going on, is so boring. I was so lost that he could not frighten me. I liked the striking Photography, only this justifies my note.

Ein Mann kommt nach Hause, findet seine Wohnungstür verschlossen und seine Frau überhaupt nicht vor. Es folgt die obsessive Suche durch sein wunderschön-verstörendes Brüsseler Jugendstil-Haus, welche die Regisseure Hélène Cattet und Bruno Forzani (Amer) fragmentarisch und völlig handlungsfrei inszenieren. Der Tod weint rote Tränen weiß um seine Giallo-Vorbilder und zieht das komplette Arty-Farty-Register: Die blut- und brustlastige Szenerie steht Kopf, verzerrt, verbiegt und spiegelt sich, ganze Sequenzen verlaufen in schwarzweißen Standbildern. Die Totale gibt es quasi nicht, nur extreme Nahaufnahmen. Das ist manchmal audiovisuell brillant, meist aber schlicht nervtötend. Denn Cattet und Forzani nehmen keinerlei Rücksicht auf den Zuschauer, unterbrechen jede stimmungsvolle Szene abrupt mit grellem Weiß oder einer penetranten Türklingel. Trotz aller Kunst bleibt der Film seltsam gefühllos: Erotik ist nicht erotisch, der Tod nicht erschreckend. Der Tod weint rote Tränen ist ein Film, bei dem wenige gebannt sitzenbleiben – während viele entnervt den Kinosaal verlassen.
