Borgman

Van Warmerdam is my favourite Dutch director. He makes films that are quintessentially Dutch in their tone and touches upon Dutch sensibilities with confounding and intriguing absurdism. Borgman is a step away from that in so far that this is a more universally themed…

WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON? Me, during Michelle's and my watch of Borgman. My second Alex van Warmerdam movie (after The Dress) and it's a doozy. A home invasion movie of sorts, but a bizarre one at that. Very cryptic, with a dash of dark absurdist humour. There seems to be…

On The Road: The Dutch Frontier - Windmills, Bicycles, Decks and Questionable Places It would appear that no matter how far we travel through the Dutch countries, we will not be able to escape the clutches of evil. This time, we meet a malevolent being in a film that…

What a crazy movie that hits the ground(actually underground) running and does not care if you can keep up. The only mark of info is the very opening scripture and honestly that doesn't help for this North American audience member but I have to say I was equally reviled and…
