Summary
Like Yorgos Lanthimos' Dogtooth and Michael Haneke's Funny Games, Borgman is an allegorical tale exploring the nature of evil in unexpected places. A vagrant enters the lives of an upper-class family, igniting a descent from darkly comic dream to maddening psychological nightmare. "I wanted to show evil through the abnormal behaviour of normal people," says Warmerdam at the film's Cannes press conference, "the kind that you can come across in the street."
