Nature, light, darkness, ordinary rituals, violence, ambiguity and evil, in the form of death, tribalism and xenophobia. They all blend together in sensual, distressed and claustrophobic movie formats Reedland ((Reed Country), the debut album by Dutch writer director Sven Bresser, which was held last Wednesday at the Cannes Critics Week.

“When Reed Cutting Hand John discovers a girl’s lifeless body on his land, he’s overcome by ambiguous guilt,” the film’s summary is made by Viking films, produced by Viking films and starring a non-professional actor led by Gerrit Knobbe. "While taking care of his granddaughter, he set out to pursue the tracing of evil. But darkness can flourish in unexpected places."

The film features Sam Du Pon's photography and is a similar rural landscape where Bresser grew up, but in another part of the Netherlands. Party movie sales are dealing with sales in movies.

“For me, it started with the landscape, the landscape I knew all my life, no longer existed in the countryside where I grew up.” Summer and all Premiered at the 2018 Venice Film Festival and won the Best Short Film Award at the Dutch Film Festival. thr. “To seek the same landscape, I found these wetlands in the northern Netherlands, and the community is still living next to the reeds.”

Filmmakers can explain the fear and claustrophobia when watching movies. "One of the first images I took for this movie was the man walking or working on the reeds and looking back at his shoulders," he recalled. "This image was looking back as a prey or predator, and this ambiguity suddenly appeared in my mind."

Slow, extended, repeated mundane routines visuals are also suitable for penetrating uneasiness Reedland. “I think these routines and rituals are really at the heart of the movie,” Breth told thr. “Filming rituals give me a lot of pleasure, because they have their own inner logic. They don't need storytelling. If you give them the time, and you do it with the right mise en scene, they can become something poetic and ritualistic. They connect you to the mundane, to reality, and at the same time, they can transcend the mundanity of daily life and have this poetic quality. Cinema is really a great medium to capture rituals and routines.”

Bresser Cast Knobbe, he has no acting experience because he feels like he wants in Johan. "It's hard to explain, but you (fall) fell in love with someone who might play a role in the movie," he said. "When I met him, I had some feeling that I've known this man for a long time. He's a very, very special person, but also a person."

Naturally, sometimes it seems to reflect how the protagonist is Reedland Feeling inside, but at other times, it feels like one's own character, not too much about human thoughts. How does Bresser view the relationship between nature and man? "These are exactly the questions I'm busy with, maybe still," he replied. "This man is so closely linked to the land. It's a farming landscape, so only the hands of the humans who cut the reeds will exist. We no longer have real wild nature in many parts of Europe. Yes, in the film it almost becomes his inner landscape, a reflection of his mindset and this alienating conflict between goodness and evil."

Meanwhile, “this indifference to human nature itself, just there, is fascinating me,” Bresser notes, pointing to the concept of “sincere landscape” by Dutch painter, sculptor and writer Armando. "Almost all of his work is surrounded by this poetic idea and his question about how nature happens after a horror incident occurs in a place," the director explained.

Speaking of guilt, John's Reed Cut Village plays a long-term competition, even conflict, in Brace's story, the so-called "striker" on the other side of the lake. This American objection illuminates nationalism and xenophobia. "It's timely and eternal at the same time," Breth said. thr. “You always try to project the dark or evil side of humanity into a community that is not yours. This very human way of thinking, the problem is evil that emerges from the outside or inside.

Does the term “Trooter” actually exist? "It's a ridicule of the nearby villages I grew up with. There's this kind of competition, but it's a relic of the past," Brees said. "But I really want to exaggerate this tribalism in a more radical way."
