Border

Directed by Ali Abbasi

Blending fantasy, thriller, drama and horror, this genuinely surprising film is based on a story by John Ajvide Lindqvist, author of Let the Right One In. A customs official with a super-sensitive sense of smell is drawn into a conspiracy that turns out to have a bizarre folkloric twist. The film grows stranger and more unsettling with each twist, and it comes loaded with ideas and unforgettable imagery that would be unique in any genre.
