Dragonflies- Marius Holst
Holst's tense psychological drama is about the past that never really goes away. Maria and Eddie, a seemingly unlikely couple, have left the city behind to start a bucolic new life in the remote countryside. One day, by chance, Eddie runs into his former best pal, an ex-con named Kullmann, at a gas station and invites him for dinner at their cozy, rundown farmhouse. The stage is set for a dramatic turn of events that
will threaten to tear apart everything that Maria and Eddie have worked for. It seems Kullman has come to stay, and as the tensions mount, a power struggle develops among the trio, complicated by secrets, obsessive jealousy, conflicted loyalties and debts come due. With a tension that recalls Roman Polanski's Knife in the Water, Holst ratchets up the pressure slowly and masterfully-visually rather than verbally-until things blow with devasting force.
