He walks through the sealed-off streets of modern Dutch suburbia and stops with a random knock on a door. With more hesitation than welcome at first, his request for a shower is accepted by the woman of the house, if not by the man. We then follow, literally and metaphorically, the enigmatic Borgman gradually manipulate and disturb the family’s harmony. His devilish presence transforms the members of the family into creepy marionettes and pushes the tone to fringes of lunacy.Fresh off from Cannes’ competition, Borgman is a brilliant critique of contemporary bourgeois dynamics, which is guaranteed to leave you with goose bumps when you exit the theater. Known for his darkly comic and surreal films, Alex van Warmerdam delivers one of the year’s darkest and visionary fables.
