Haunting and Disturbing, 11 February 2000
9/10
Author: oleander-3 from London, Ontario, Canada

Based on the short story by Katherine Anne Porter, this quiet film is about a Swedish man who comes to work for a family in Texas. Despite their efforts, he refuses to become part of the family, and hardly talks during the whole nine years he's with them. In the beginning we think he is odd--the way he becomes angry when someone even touches his harmonicas, the way he works without stopping, bringing fortune to the family, and the way he gets angry if people insist on talking to him. Yet after a series of unsettling events, the viewer begins to wonder if he is human at all. A wonderful film that draws you completely into its dreamlike mood. I give it a.........9/10.
