Synopsis

A brutal assault changes Mariekes life. She leaves her familiar city rhythms for the solitude of a delapidated house in an empty countryside. Her irrational fears on the frozen farm are a constant struggle. As springs’ orchestra begins, her curiosity for new things that cover the cold rot of winter pull her out of the suffocating interior of her mind. Slowly she accepts the help of John, her neighbour, but as the seasons change so does she. —IMDb

Meditative and organic, this film is very much alive with poetry and emotion. Esther Rots' debut feature was my favorite film of 2009. Rikka Lodeizen portrays the Marieke written by Rots with such power, it's impossible to look away.

Living up to its poetically corrosive title, this intense, subjective account of a woman's unravelling mind takes 'Repulsion' to the chilling Dutch countryside. Read my full review: http://www.brnrd.net/blog/archive/2009/01/27/iffr-kan-door-huid-heen
