MORLANG (2001)


I ended up trying on Morlang because tubi had it written up as a "horror"/thriller/drama, but still got hooked in what surprisingly to me ended up being a deeply twisted romance movie of a lofty expression. I actually watched this one a few weeks ago and had to stop with only a half hour left because it made me too gay and weepy, now in my post-viewing quicksearch i found little hard info and lots of headlines of dismal disappointment but hey thats why i see nothing but a trailer until post viewing
Morlang follows an artist from a pretty subjective pov who is successful in rotterdam but with some creative block and intermartial affairs this movie plot quickly thickens. Public's complaint but my compliment is how artfully this production weaves in and out of present and past tense, hardly ever confusing if anything it is done so with a lustrious mystrium and lends you to admire each situation id say from my own experience
The thriller aspect enters in the way the protagonist Morlang is haunted by his past wife through memory all experientially visual and auditory flashbacks

For hopeless romantics in the abstract expressionistic type only

Tubi's official synopsis: "eerie events occur after a successful artists discovers his wife is having an affair and exacts revenge."
