A mysterious vagrant disrupts an upper middle class Dutch family in this supremely unsettling allegory.

I would certainly classifyBorgmanas a horror film.

Is it an allegory for the destruction of the middle class by the forces of poverty and economic distress?

(The status of Richards job looms large over the course of the story.)

Does some part of Marina want to destroy everything she and Richard have?

Again, the filmmaker doesnt provide any rationale.

I just might not want to watch it again for a long time.
