People will enjoy Strange Darling for that cat and mouse story, the bold artistic choices, and the gore. But the true value of the film is its discussion of perception.Plot Analysis of Strange Darling. Set-up. Starts in a car, black and white, with Lady, off-camera, asking Demon “Are you a serial killer?” Cuts to him choking her. The use of black and white can seem like nothing more than an artsy choice—but Strange Darling focuses on stories and perception. So the black and white isn’t just about style.
The twists happen frequently, but are also rather easy to guess ahead of time. Strange Darling isn’t as smart as it thinks it is. The style is abundant and confronting. The movie begins with a title card that plainly states that the movie was shot on 35mm, as if it is expecting you to stand up and clap for how daring it is.
