THE COMING OF JOACHIM STILLER

A journalist observes odd events around town and gets letters, postmarked 1919, from Joachim Stiller. Who is this Stiller, and what does he want? Kümel's film of Hubert Lampo's magical-realist novel stirs foreboding, colourful characters and sly humour into an evocation of 1970s Antwerp at its most seductive and surreal.
