It is as if Alfred Hitchcock had made a slapstick serial killer movie in Yugoslavia based on a Blake Edwards’ screenplay. That is one awkward way to describe the brainsick horror Strangler vs. Strangler, though the flick itself is far more wicked. And since it also – in its own perverse way – is a romance like you have never seen before, we will be honoring International Women's Day by screening this rare gem. Invite your loved one for an original date! The movie was made by Slobodan Šijan, a solitaire whose deviant movies defied established filmmaking norms and the regulations of the socialist regime. He did so through morbid humor, peculiar aesthetics and, above all, undying imagination. Strangler vs. Strangler is an entertainingly morbid proof of all those qualities.
