Stranger by the Lake

Audience emotional responses are dominated by the film's thriller elements, primarily evoking high levels of **Anxiety** and **Anticipation** as the protagonist, Franck, pursues a dangerous relationship with a killer he witnessed in action. A profound sense of the **Disturbing** permeates the viewing experience due to Franck's morally ambiguous choices and the killer's remorseless nature. **Fear** is present, stemming from the inherent danger of the situation and the constant threat of discovery. **Curiosity** drives engagement, prompting viewers to question Franck's motivations and the unfolding events. While a twisted form of **Love** is central to Franck's actions, it's overshadowed by the dark circumstances. Dramatic elements contribute to feelings of **Sadness**, **Empathy** (especially for Henri), and **Melancholy**, reflecting the isolated setting and the characters' predicaments. **Disgust** and **Guilt** also arise in response to the murder and Franck's complicity.
