Park Circus has today announced that it will release the critically acclaimed American gothic horror THE EYES OF MY MOTHER, directed by Nicolas Pesce, in UK cinemas on 24 March 2017.
Francisca (played by Kika Magalhaes in a breakout performance) has seemingly been unfazed by death from an early age - her mother, formerly a surgeon in Portugal, imbued her with a thorough understanding of the human anatomy. When tragedy shatters her family’s idyllic life in the countryside, her deep trauma gradually awakens some unique curiosities. As she grows up, her desire to connect with the world around her takes a distinctly dark form.
The hauntingly
beautiful and shockingly original debut from filmmaker Nicolas Pesce
fuses classic horror ingredients with gothic black-and-white imagery and
was called the “discovery of this year’s Sundance” by Indiewire’s Eric
Kohn, where it was in the Official Selection category as well as the BFI
London Film Festival 2016. It has already received strong critical
acclaim from Variety calling it “an exquisite waking nightmare” and
Little White Lies who said it was “an extraordinarily assured debut.”
