Review of Border (2018) by Mauro_Lanari — 01 Feb 2020
(Mauro Lanari).
In order to be truly unpredictable, Abbasi should not have had to direct the adaptation of a short story by the highly predictable Lindqvist, another who, like del Toro, talks about genetic freaks, body shaming, identity minorities and sexual diversities not with the realism of Browning, Herzog, Lynch but with the fantasy genre, therefore with the symbolism of the many Magneto against Xavier. In his case, of Norse mythology and Scandinavian folklore to give himself a more artistic and authorial tone instead of mainstream for teenagers. And it's obvious that the result doesn't change.
