Strange Darling: a treat for the misogynist in you

Synopsis:

Set in rural Oregon, the film focuses on a man and woman who engage in a one-night stand that devolves into a cat-and-mouse game of murder. 

My thoughts:

If you are prone to misogyny, if you get a sinfully pleasant tingle when watching aggression towards women on screen, this film is a yummy treat, as most of your prejudices will be validated in a most indulgent way. I am sure there will be an ultra-woke reviewer out there who will interpret this movie as an act of justified "female rage" and "woman taking back agency", blah blah. If you dislike/mistrust women, covertly or openly, this flick is for you. I may be thinking too much into it, but it's no coincident that Oregon was chosen as the setting, a place where extremes co-exist. Radical liberals, doomsday survivalists, Native Americans and vindictive cops. Such a rich tapestry for a story involving a psychopath. The color scheme as well as out-of-sequence chapter structure will remind you of Lars von Trier. Strange Darling was shot on 33 mm film, resulting in a visual that throws you back to 1970s grindhouse esthetic. 

Separate kudos to Barbara Hershey, who reinvents herself in her mid-70s as the sinister old woman.
