Drafthouse Films will release Alex Van Warmerdam‘s Borgman on June 6 and today I have the first trailer and poster for the dark and twisted story, of which I regrettably missed at last year’s Cannes and Toronto Film Festival.
The film features Jan Bijvoet in the title role as Camiel Borgman whose arrival in a residential area disrupts the life of the carefully constructed façade of an arrogant, wealthy couple, their three children and the nanny. In fact, Borgman may actually be the Devil.
I’ve heard good things about this one with comparisons to the work of Giorgos Lanthimos (Dogtooth) and Michael Haneke (Amour) having been made. I’m looking forward to finally seeing it for myself.
