Synopsis:

The first Dutch production to be selected for the Critics' Week at the Cannes Film Festival since 1998, Murder in the Reeds is a slow-paced psychological thriller from Sven Bresser. Murder in the Reeds was shot in the Weerribben-Wieden region, among the reeds whispering in the wind, creating the ideal atmosphere for a mysterious murder that shakes a traditional provincial society to its core. A grandfather, tenderly caring for his granddaughter, is deeply moved when he discovers the body of a little girl where he cuts reeds for a living. Through striking cinematography, the director successfully creates suspense by combining film noir elements with geographical factors that he uses as a supernatural malevolent force. Despite the murder investigation, Murder in the Reeds is more character-driven than plot-driven. Despite its lack of acting experience, Gerrit Knobbe's impressive performance gives the viewer goosebumps.

Netherland's first entry to the Critic's Week at the Cannes Film Festival since 1998 is a slow-paced psychological thriller by Sven Bresser. Reedland is filmed in Weerribben-Wieden in the Netherlands, among the reeds whispering in the wind, which create the ideal atmosphere for the setting of a murder mystery that shakes a traditional rural community. A grandfather who affectionately takes care of his granddaughter is deeply touched by the discovery of a little girl's corpse in the place he makes a living by cutting reeds. The director successfully creates suspense by using film noir elements, and the geographical factors like a supernatural evil force, through stunning cinematography. Despite the murder investigation Reedland is more character driven than plot driven and still gives goosebumps to the audience thanks to the impressive performance by Gerrit Knobbe who didn't have any acting experience.
