Severin Fiala & Veronika Franz's Goodnight Mommy opens September 11 at the Film Society of Lincoln Center. More info: filmlinc.org/newreleases
The dread of parental abandonment is trumped by the terror of menacing spawn in Severin Fiala and Veronika Franz’s exquisite, cerebral horror-thriller. Lukas and Elias are 9-year-old twins, alone with their fantastical playtime adventure-worlds in a countryside home, until their mother comes home from facial-reconstructive surgery. Or is she in fact their mother? The boys begin to wonder what this stranger—her head entirely bandaged and personality radically changed—has done to their “real” mother. As with most fairy tales, it turns out that children can imagine and endure things that cause more mature minds and bodies to wither from fear. Produced by renowned auteur—and frequent co-writer with Franz—Ulrich Seidl, Goodnight Mommy is a bold step forward for Austrian cinema. Fans of Michael Haneke’s work will find much to appreciate as well. Ultimately, this is a heartbreaking tale of love and loss wrapped in one of the scariest films of the year. A New Directors/New Films 2015 selection. A RADiUS-TWC release.
America’s preeminent film presentation organization, the Film Society of Lincoln Center was founded in 1969 to celebrate American and international cinema, to recognize and support new filmmakers, and to enhance awareness, accessibility and understanding of the art among a broad and diverse film-going audience.
