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.
