Alain E @AlainE Aug 8 A brilliant surrealist tale. Inside a luxurious country home a rich lady is awaiting death surrounded by her multiple servants. But, wait! The group includes her actual husband and daughter and other relatives! They are all willing to serve her every whim, anticipating that they will share a huge inheritance. When they realize that the money doesn’t exist things turn ugly. Lesson? People are very bad. Good cinematography and acting. See more 10/27/2015 Typical Alex van Warmerdam's noir & quirkiness. See more 04/08/2013 A very interesting movie that really showcases the interactions of people pitted against each other for the common good or just to keep their own sanity. See more 12/18/2012 The scenery and composition of the shots is beautiful (as it seems to be in all these independent European movies), but in the end you're not really sure what exactly is going on, or what the movie wanted to say. It's about some lady who has a family who play as her servants (even her own brother is playing the dog, which is incredibly weird). They never really explain how or why this family got this way and we find out they continue on because they are waiting for some inheritance she promised to leave them. All the time the film takes us through these surreal characters and situations yet its ambitions as a piece of storytelling are nothing surreal or in any way striking, just bland and dark.

See more 02/21/2011 Another masterpiece from both the most talented and underrated currently active Dutch director Alex van Warmerdam. A hilarious dark comedy with some surreal elements and a stage play atmosphere, this didn't disappoint. See more Read all reviews
