Norwegian distributor Fidalgo has added Alain Guiraudie’s Cannes title to its festival haul.

Stranger By the Lake (L’inconnu du lac), set against the backdrop of a cruising spot for men, played in Un Certain Regard at Cannes last month.

Produced by Sylvie Pialat for Les Films du Worso, the film centres on Franck, who falls in love with a murderer. Les Films du Losange will release in France on June 12.

It adds to Fidalgo’s Cannes pick-ups, which include Paolo Sorrentino’s The Great Beauty, Diego Quemada-Diez’s The Golden Cage; and Antoinette Beumer’s Jackie.
