Borgman Movie Poster

Borgman Trailer. Alex van Warmerdam‘s Borgman (2013) movie trailer stars Alex van Warmerdam, Jan Bijvoet, Hadewych Minis, Jeroen Perceval, and Sara Hjort Ditlevsen. Borgman‘s plot synopsis: “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.”

The story that follows is like the bastard child of Luis Buñuel and Micheal Haneke, with the influence of Dogtooth by Yorgos Lanthimos — an unusual, unsettling, and violent demolition of accepted social politics. This trailer captures the film’s spirit; watch below.

Borgman also stars Annet Malherbe and Pierre Bokma.
