Pasolini’s Teorema is successfully transplanted to Dutch suburbia in this effective tragicomedy. The arrival of an impossibly perfect German boy into a deftly dysfunctional Lowlands family exposes the bourgeois clan to their true desires and inner selves. With an assist from scribe Anne Barnhoorn’s perceptive, well-structured screenplay, rookie helmer Michiel ten Horn, who has a background in animation, finds exactly the right tone for this quirky tale, which is also reminiscent of the ironic, oft-devastating insights of Todd Solondz’s work. It’s a portrait of how an apparently picture-perfect middle-class family comes apart when it is confronted with actual perfection in the form of blond-haired, white-clad teenager Veit, a faultless German exchange student who arrives on the family’s doorstep to general surprise, though the van Ends’ slightly zaftig 15-year-old daughter Eva told everyone he was coming — not that anyone actually listens to her.
