"Winner at the Cannes Film Festival in the Un Certain Regard category (and also nominated for an Oscar for Best Makeup), 'Border: Creatures of the Frontier' is a movie based on the homonymous short story by Ajvide Lindqvist, which with elements of drama, thriller, romance and fantasy inspired by Nordic folklore, builds an allegory about such diverse themes as marginalization, racism, discrimination, identity, and intolerance, but also about the purity of love and emotions, as raw and close to the skin as the violence that is represented on screen. It's a very peculiar mix of the mythical with the realism of contemporary society that can be shocking, but it's also true that you will see few movies like this one."
