Borgman

I absolutely loved this bizarre, strange, and enticing movie. It just sucked me right into it!

Weird and unpredictable, the movie begins with a strange situation and develops in a surprising way, escalating to increasingly bizarre events. The cinematography uses pale colors, creating a dark and uncomfortable atmosphere. The characters are striking, strange and apathetic, their expressiveness surpassing their verbalization. The dynamics are uncomfortable and confusing, generating a sense of manipulation that seems to transcend the narrative. In this film, nothing is obvious and there is a strong interpretative and questioning component, full of metaphors and symbolism.

While I'm not quite sure what the point of the movie is, it was still bizarrely fun.

Lots to digest here. Multiple viewings would be beneficial.

Strange movie gets under your skin. Not quite terror, not quite psychological thriller, not quite grifter story. A bit of all. Resembles plot to movie I.T., although I think I.T. borrows from here, probably.

This was a weird ass movie, I watched the whole movie but I think it was just because I was curious what would happen. It wasn’t really as good as it was strange. It's going to leave you thinking a little and also asking questions that never get answered.

Bizarre and confusing. Interesting is, it kept me interested for actually nothing really interesting. It's a unusual unpredictable movie.

Basically _Parasite_ with some European black comedy and Van Warmerdam’s typical absurdist eccentricity mixed in. Really unpredictable sequence of events, interesting characters, great acting, lots of funny understated scenes and themes deconstructing the suburban myth, class and dysfunctional relationships (occasionally through biblical references). There’s a lot on its plate, and while it’s a great set-up, the end result doesn’t entirely come together. The absurdist edge only goes so far to cover up for the character motivations and logic becoming really thin in places, and that killed a lot of the tension for me. The movie wraps up in a way where you’re left pondering: if that’s where the story needed to go, there are about a hundred more efficient ways the characters could’ve achieved that. I also don’t think it’s Van Warmerdam’s strongest work in a filmmaking sense. Still, it’s an alright film with a distinct artistic stamp and a lot of symbolism to read into.

5.5/10
