This chilling and controlled film was nominated for the Palme d’Or at Cannes 2011. Austrian writer-director Markus Schleinzer’s feature debut is an accomplished but disturbing drama which tracks the life of a paedophile over a five-month period. Michael is a thirty-something insurance manager whose immaculately kept suburban home and ostensibly unremarkable life hide a deeply dark secret: he has, at some unspecified point in the past, abducted a ten-year-old boy called Wolfgang, whom he sexually abuses. The film details the relationship between the two protagonists with an impartial detachment, focusing largely on the banality of their everyday life together: washing up after dinner, TV before bedtime, the perfectly normal appearance of Wolfgang’s room in the basement and their occasional trips out of the house. Further anxiety is introduced as Michael’s means of controlling the boy emerge from the narrative, as well as the suggestion that Michael may be about to extend the scope of his offending… In German with English subtitles., A respectable man hides a monstrous secret in this harrowing drama from Austrian filmmaker Markus Schleinzer.
