This beautifully composed drama centres on a middle-aged filmmaker and her mother, who spend a few nights in an old country hotel that holds meaning for them both. Featuring a towering, deeply moving performance by Tilda Swinton, 'The Eternal Daughters' is an intricately layered piece about motherhood, memory and loss, dressed up as a gothic chiller. Swirling mist, looming shadows, a ghostly presence half-glanced in a window...embracing some of the heightened stylistic flourishes seen in 'The Souvenir Part II', 'The Eternal Daughter' takes Joanna Hogg into exciting new territory, while retaining her distinctive naturalistic signature. The film exists entirely as its own deeply enthralling and moving drama, but fans of the filmmaker's recent work will also find it a puzzle box of metatextual delights. - Director:
- Joanna Hogg

- Tilda Swinton, Louis, August Joshi
