Here’s a nasty little clip from Alex van Warmerdam’s BORGMAN, the creepy home invasion thriller coming out this June from Drafthouse Films. The clip will show you just what kind of guy Borgman is, and while I don’t really know why this is happening, it’s safe to say you want to stay on the good side of this fellow.
A dark suburban fable exploring the nature of evil in unexpected places, Borgman follows an enigmatic vagrant who enters the lives of an upper-class family and quickly unravels their carefully curated lifestyle. Charming and mysterious, Camiel Borgman seems almost otherworldly, and it isn’t long before he has the wife, children and nanny under his spell in a calculated bid to take over their home life. However, his domestic assimilation takes a malevolent turn as his ultimate plan comes to bear, igniting a series of increasingly maddening and menacing events.
Starring Jan Bijvoet, Hadewych Minis, Jeroen Perceval, Sara Hjort Ditlevsen, Eva van de Wijdeven, Annet Malherbe, Tom Dewispelaere and Alex van Warmerdam, BORGMAN opens in NYC on June 6 at IFC Center and Lincoln Plaza. It will expand on June 13 and June 20. See the full theater listing HERE.
