North American Premiere.
Writer/director Alex van Warmerdam (BORGMAN, SCHNEIDER VS. BAX) revisits and revamps his 2003 film GRIMM ("It's my only movie I always thought I could have gotten more out of"), not only re-editing the film from scratch, but also creating a completely new sound mix and score. What starts as an absurdist, modern-dress take on legends from the Brothers Grimm mutates, dreamlike, into a road movie, a thriller and a quasi-Western. Brother and sister Jacob and Maria (Jacob Derwig and Halina Reijn – director of 2019's INSTINCT) are abandoned in the forest by their poor father. They survive a frightening encounter with an odd couple whose hospitality comes with strings attached, then make their way to Spain to seek a better life. They believe they have found it when Maria falls in love with a wealthy doctor, Diego (Carmelo Gómez), and both brother and sister move into his mansion, also the home of Diego's strange, silent sister Teresa (Elvira Mínguez). But further, freaky dangers await the siblings.
