REEDLAND | RIETLAND

NETHERLANDS | BELGIUM | 2025 | COLOR | DCP | 105’ | DUTCH

A middle-aged farmer discovers the body of a young girl among the reeds. The seeming indifference of the police to find the killer fuels his obsession and leads him to take matters into his own hands. The promise of a mystery thriller is embellished with a labyrinthine cinematography and a sonic pandemonium, until it pays off in the chilling climax of the mystery. A truly revelatory debut from a 33-year-old Dutch director, who directs with the aura of a great auteur as he crafts an unprecedented experience destined to remain unforgettable to anyone who encounters it on the big screen in the right conditions. Conditions that awaken the threat in the quiet countryside and form an elliptical nightmare in the eyes of the unsuspecting viewer. Th.K.
