Interestingly, in his library, which ought to be closed to the public (even if the doors are usually wide open), Mark finds a woman, Lara (Sarah Schoofs), who seems to share his love for books - though maybe in a completely different way ...<p> <p><b>The Bookworm</b> is a film that might be slow in build-up, but is all the more enjoyable for it, taking time to let its macabre story unfold without giving away too much or relying on spectacle too soon. Instead it fleshes out its story and characters via interesting situations and poignant dialogue that are just elements of good storytelling, to then reward us with a surprise twist ending. And a subtle direction and compact cast of course don't hurt one bit, either.<p>Quite likeable (in its own morbid way), really.<p> <p>  </td> <td width="4" rowspan="2"></td> <td width="100" rowspan="2" background="../stylepix/squareright.gif" valign="top">  </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="592" valign="top">  <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> currentyear = "2018"; </SCRIPT> <SCRIPT language="JavaScript" src="../scripts/endcredits.js"></SCRIPT> <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> dosworsdonn(); </SCRIPT> </td> </tr> </table> </div> </body>
