Borgman
Alex van Warmerdam / NL, BE, DK, 2013 / 112 min.
This thriller that competed in Cannes is about the outsider Borgman who arrives in the fenced off lanes of a villa development, setting off a series of disturbing events for an arrogant, wealthy couple. After the screening q&a and Peter Verstraten’s book presentation.
In Borgman, Flemish actor Jan Bijvoet plays Camiel Borgman, a charismatic drifter who insinuates himself into the life of a wealthy family at their villa. In no time, he manages to stoke tensions between family members and murder and death make their appearance. Is he an alien demon, the embodiment of our fears or an inconspicuous exponent of evil?
