This spellbinding tale of disconnected brothers and the complicated women they love is fueled by a captivating ensemble performance, vivid family dynamics and candid conversations about love and death. When married couple Menno and Louise arrive from Italy to Menno's boyhood Netherlands home, they get bad news from Menno's brother Tom: Their father has died. Along with Tom's girlfriend, Alice, the two couples settle into the gorgeous country home for funeral planning and serious soul searching. Soon, lifelong tensions and personal demons permeate the serene setting. In an illuminatingly focused cinematic approach, filmmaker Marcel Visbeen's camera quietly captures the nuances of intense, awkward family encounters filled with uncovered secrets and unspoken words. The understated style imbues the simplest of actions, even waiting in line for the bathroom, with unforgettable emotional significance. An intelligent, reflective character study centered on real people in real situations, Linoleum is a passionate, profound drama for grownups.
