VIFF 2013 review: Borgman

(Netherlands)

    1 of 2 2 of 2

      Nobody’s motivations are clear (or predictable) in Alex van Warmerdam’s psychological thriller, which only makes it harder to look away. Loyalties switch, and soon enough there’s a beautiful underwater garden of corpses when a community of subterranean forest dwellers do high concept mischief to an affluent Dutch family. There’s a hint of something paranormal going on, but that’s really just nature correcting the balance in this magnetically strange act of class war.

      Rio, October 4 (11:30 p.m.) and October 5 (3:45 p.m.)
