Who is he – Borgman, the iconoclast? Is he a real human being, or a fusion of fears and anger, hiding behind layers of respectability, prosperity and carelessness? Is he a demon from nightmares, or an allegory, or an embodiment of all human fears come alive—like an evil spirit on the loose.
Disturbed and exiled from his shelter, he arises from nowhere, and a steady life of an ordinary family will never be the same...Apocalypses is a recurrent dream, that one can forget about, but cannot get recovered from.
"Borgman" is like a complex puzzle, a maze constructed from passion, nightmares and exposed horrors, put in a frame of a surreal thriller.
Shot in unique style of the ideologist of the European absurd, this magnetic puzzle became the most obscure, harsh and sophisticated creation of the director, who possesses devilish fantasy and precise, abrupt impulse. He wildly plays with mythology, as well as with pictorial, literary and biblical motives.

"Well, you don’t love life itself. You love places, animals, people, memories, food, literature, music. And sometimes you meet someone...who requires all the love you have to give. And if you lose that someone, you think everything else is going to stop too. But everything else just keeps on going."

It seems that everything around is nothing but the decor: that’s how uninteresting the world became to him.
It seems that all that was important stayed in the past. And so it was, until one day he met someone on the bus, and this encounter changed everything.
Magnificent Michal Caine created a little delightful masterpiece on screen that makes you want to watch it again straight after walking out of the theatre.
"Mr. Morgan’s Last Love" - is a certain answer to gloomy "Love" by Michael Haneke.
This touching, heartfelt, beautiful story, filled with light sadness in pale shades, could have been shot only by a woman. The film is not about how one needs to live a life - it’s about the need of living it. And making it bright and saturated, making sure each moment is appreciated.
Fine and elegant reflection on loneliness, forgiveness and love, that give its spectator hope.
