12 Days of Movies part 6

 Border (Gräns) 2018 Neon

I knew 2 things about Border upon going in- That it was sort of folk tale-ish and that it was based on a short story by John Ajvide Lindqvist. He also wrote Let The Right One In, one of my favorite movies of all time, so naturally, I was excited to buy a ticket.

Honestly, the less you know about this film going in the better, because it really is an unexpected delight, so I will just give the most basic plot I can. Tina (Eva Melander) has spent her life feeling out of place due to her strange appearance. One day she meets someone while on the job (her line of work is as a customs agent who uses their sense of smell to sniff out contraband). She's never seen anyone like her before, and the intriguing Vore (Eero Milanoff) is as confident as she is shy. She begins to learn things about herself and her past that change everything. This is such a beautifully shot film with twists and turns and a sex scene unlike anything you've ever seen.
