Debut director Fridtjof Ryder’s atmospheric mood piece has promising elements but doesn’t quite deliver
As supporting actor and executive producer, Mark Rylance generously supplies some valuable ballast and substance to an interesting, but underdeveloped and underimagined debut work from writer-director Fridtjof Ryder. It’s an atmospheric mood piece set in and around the Forest of Dean which doesn’t quite deliver either as psychological drama or folk horror, and might have been better boiled down to a short film.
Rory Alexander plays a troubled young man who has just been let out of a psychiatric facility after what appears to be a breakdown caused by the disappearance of his mother some years before. There are some disturbing dream-setpieces in the woods (perhaps the one this man sees at night) featuring a woman and a little boy.

The film marks the debut of Fridtjof Ryder and alongside Ryland the cast includes Rory Alexander (“Pistol”), Kathryn Hunter (“Andor”), Eleanor Holliday, Alexander Lincoln (“The Fence”), Nell Williams (“The Good Liar”) and Shaun Dingwall (“Top Boy”).

The mark of any successful directorial debut is whether you can find the makings of a distinctive authorial voice underneath various layers of homage to the obvious influences. In the case of Fridtjof Ryder’s debut Inland, shot when the German-British director was just 20, it’s hard to uncover any personal voice in what is essentially an Anglicization of the typical David Lynch format––a surreal tale about the darkness that hides beneath unassuming suburbia. Describing anything as “Lynchian” is fast becoming meaningless in the realm of criticism, where even the most vaguely odd works have found themselves getting breathlessly labeled such, but here everything—from the title onwards—feels deliberately designed to invoke comparisons. It’s a shame, considering how intriguing the character study is at the surface, that it never feels truly original in its own right.

After talking about the compelling array of short films available to watch at London Film Festival last week, I now find myself in the same position talking about the impressive selection of feature films that were on display this year. The features on show at Lff ran across a huge variety of strands and programmes from the genre-specific fare of the ‘Cult’ strand to the Headline Galas which attracted some of the world’s biggest stars to the red carpet in London. Here at Dn, however, we’re interested in those hidden gems, the films that won’t be arriving on Netflix in a month’s time that push the artistic boundaries of the form and deserve to be championed. So, with that in mind, we offer below a recommended selection of ten features to add to your watch list from a collection of international auteurs and innovative debut filmmakers.

Writer-director Fridtjof Ryder makes an impressive debut with Inland, which had its world premiere at the BFI London Film Festival this evening. The German-English filmmaker – who also produces – has delivered an atmospheric meditation on family, loss, nature and the environment, with terrific turns from Mark Rylance and newcomer Rory Alexander.
In the credits, the latter’s character is known as The Man, and the contemporary story pays tribute to the ancient Green Man legend. Set in Gloucester, UK, on the outskirts of the Forest of Dean, it sees him returning home after time in a facility. His mother has gone missing, and his father figure, mechanic Dunleavy (Rylance), welcomes him back with a gentle jokey greeting: “You Silly Billy.” It’s a telling phrase that sets the tone of an affectionate relationship and a character who falls back on humor when the conversation is in danger of getting serious.

A total of 164 feature films will play at this year’s London Film Festival, alongside an abundance of shorts, TV series and an expanded program of Xr (extended reality) works — and that’s in a comparatively slimmed-down era of curation for a public-facing festival that has long aimed to bring the best of the global festival circuit to non-traveling cinephiles.
What has definitely grown is the Lff’s national reach: In what fest director Tricia Tuttle terms the festival’s “new normal” format after a few years of structural shifts and Covid-era adjustments, the capital-centered event will also be hosting screenings in 10 other cities around the U.K., from Manchester to Edinburgh to Belfast — sealing its status as the country’s preeminent film festival. A digital program of up to 20 titles will also be made available for online viewing, while short films and screen talks will be free to stream...
