Michiel Ten Horn’s Rotterdam Opener ‘Fabula’ Offers a Darkly Humorous Look at Redemption: ‘It’s Like ‘A Christmas Carol’’


Michiel ten Horn’s 'Fabula' – which opens this year’s edition of IFFR – follows a 'dumb, selfish gangster who gets himself into a lot of trouble.'

Michiel ten Horn ’s “Fabula” – which opens this year’s edition of International Film Festival Rotterdam – follows a “dumb, selfish gangster who gets himself into a lot of trouble,” explains the director. Inspired by the likes of Wes Anderson and Anders Thomas Jensen – whose “Riders of Justice” opened IFFR back in 2021 – Ten Horn naturally gravitated toward dark humor. Joining van Huêt, Sezgin Güleç, Michiel Kerbosch, Anniek Pheifer, Livia Lamers, Georg Friedrich and David Kross play larger-than-life characters.
