Il vestito

This will be the fifth film I have watched by Alex van Warmerdam and they have all been strange no doubt and they have all been good except for Little Tony which was ok but didnt compare to the others.

The first film I saw of his was Borgman several years ago and it has always stuck with me. Like all of his movies, different, strange, odd, surreal. The Dress is another somewhat surreal tale that follows a dress from its conception through the manufacturing process, and as it is worn by its various possessors. Most of those who came in contact with the dress came to some mischief. If Grimm would have been rated PG, then this one would probably have to be R, with a good bit of nudity, adult situations, and a certain creep factor. With these five films under my belt, I can definitely say I am a fan of the director's work. Quite an interesting filmmaker with a unique vision. I have several more of his films all queued up.
