Tilda Swinton turns in an extraordinary dual performance in this haunting semie autobiographical new film from acclaimed writer / director Joanna Hogg. Julie (Swinton) is a middle-aged film maker who takes her elderly mother (also Swinton) to a secluded Welsh hotel for her birthday. A former family home, the hotel is full of memories for her mother, and she hopes it will allow her to explore aspects of her past that have so far eluded her, with the expectation that it will provide material for her next film. As secrets are revealed, it forces them both to confront some hidden truths. The mist shrouded hotel, with unexplained bumps in the night and ghostly apparitions at the window my suggest a gothic horror, but the ghosts that haunt the pair reside firmly in their memories. Featuring the naturalistic dialogue and the wry humour that have become Hogg trademarks, the film also connects with her acclaimed Souvenir films, though you don’t need to have seen those to enjoy unravelling the mysteries of this enthralling drama. “The Eternal Daughter is a serious, gentle moment of self-revelation for Joanna Hogg” Guardian Please note: There will be no ads or trailers, so please arrive promptly at the advertised start time.
