No.10

[Machine Translation] The great enemy of carelessness. A huge monitoring suspense with a shudder that plunged the world into chaos. At the end of the breach of chastity duty, the great universe of truth spread. It was always keeping a watchful eye. Watch out for the surveillance beams, and watch out. The latest film by Alex van Wermerdam, the Dutch genius whose shocking "Borgman" (2013) was nominated for the Palme d'Or at Cannes and won the Grand Prix at the 46th Sitges International Film Festival of Catalonia, and has caused havoc around the world. Who is he? With ruthless precision, van Wermerdam, himself a former stage actor, monitors the life of his protagonist, the actor Gunther. After transcending film genres with "Borgman," Wermerdam finally breaks through the concept of storytelling with "No. 10" and reaches the realm of the unidentifiable. This film is so full of shivers, shocks, and tension-filled suspense that it has been praised at international film festivals as "mind-bogglingly brilliant," and "you must see it. It's eerie, dark, weird, and crazy," and film critics around the world were left speechless. Werfeldam said, "When I started writing the screenplay, I had never written anything like this before. When I start writing a script, I build and arrange scenes one after the other, trying to get to territory I've never been in before. By the end, No. 10 is light years away from the opening scene in terms of tone, personnel, and visuals. The music is also by Vermeldam, a space jazz melody that even Saturn's Sun Ra would envy, played from light years away. --Gunther lost his memory as a child, was abandoned in the forest, and was raised by foster parents. As an adult, he makes a living as a stage actor, has an affair with his co-star, and his only daughter is a mutant with only one lung. When a fellow actor betrays him, Gunther is cruelly punished and vows revenge. But what awaits him is a startling revelation.
