Nightborn

Yön lapsi
Hanna Bergholm
Finland, France, Lithuania, UK 2026, 90 minutes    

John and Saga have just moved into their family home in the middle of a Finnish forest and feel ready to start a new chapter in their marriage: expanding the family. Nine months and a difficult delivery later, their son sees the light. His incessant cries bring to mind a starving fox, not to mention his furry coat of hair. But that will, of course, prove to be the least of our new parents’ worries… Instead of serving up a pompous pseudo-scientific dissertation on postpartum complications, Hanna Bergholm unleashes her gruesome imagination while keeping her foot firmly pressed on the pedal of pitch-black humor. All this results in one of the trashiest films ever made about parenthood – a worthy successor to ROSEMARY’S BABY – or, if you will, a barely veiled call for collective vasectomy!
