Borgman

Without turning his back on the dark, humorous nature of his earlier work, Alex van Warmerdam takes a nosedive into an ocean of dramatic coincidence in a metaphysical thriller inspired by the archetypal battle between Good and Evil.

The first Dutch film to make the Cannes competition section in 38 years, "Borgman" is one of the most daring films of the season that not only provoked audiences, but challenged the director himself to redefine his own limits.

Without turning his back on the dark, humorous nature of his earlier work, Alex van Warmerdam takes a nosedive into an ocean of dramatic coincidence in a metaphysical thriller inspired by the archetypal battle between Good and Evil.

In a macabre fairy tale that flirts with the underlying violence of a Michael Haneke film, Borgman and a team of unspecified origin set their sights on a bourgeois family that lives in a luxurious isolated country estate. The devious Borgman will slowly infiltrate their everyday lives and poison every aspect of their existence for no other reason other than his own amusement.. K.Th.
