Writer/director Nicolas Pesce's debut feature THE EYES OF MY MOTHER has received quite the reputation, including a glowing review from our very own Eric Walkuski. And now it has received quite the trailer. The second trailer is all about subtle chills, transplanting one scene from the crisp, black-and-white movie into an out-of-context nightmare that will leave you drooling for more. Check it out below!
In their secluded farmhouse, a mother, formerly a surgeon in Portugal, teaches her daughter, Francisca, to understand anatomy and be unfazed by death. One afternoon, a mysterious visitor shatters the idyll of Francisca's family life, deeply traumatizing the young girl, but also awakening unique curiosities. Though she clings to her increasingly reticent father, Francisca's loneliness and scarred nature converge years later when her longing to connect with the world around her takes on a dark form.
Kika Magalhães, Will Brill, Flora Diaz, Paul Nazak, Clara Wong, Diana Agostini, and Olivia Bond star.
Magnet will be releasing THE EYES OF MY MOTHER on VOD and in select theatres on December 2nd.
