Stridura, from 1980, is a curious blend of crime and sci-fi set in a stark, desolated landscape. The atmosphere is thick with tension as we watch a martyr manipulated from behind the scenes by a faceless figure in a control room. The pacing drags at times, but it amplifies the sense of dread permeating the film. The torture scenes are raw, not overly graphic but unsettling enough to make you ponder the moral complexities at play. Ange Leccia’s direction dives into a political reflection on imagery and power, leaving you questioning the roles of victim and oppressor. It’s distinctively atmospheric, capturing a certain bleakness that's not common in genre films of its era.
