The most recent feature from acclaimed filmmaker Joanna Hogg, is a beautifully composed drama that 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 and BIFA nominated performance by Tilda Swinton in dual roles, The Eternal Daughter (2022) 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 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.

Following its theatrical release by BFI Distribution on 24 November 2023, The Eternal Daughter will be released on Blu-ray, BFI Player Subscription, iTunes and Amazon Prime by the BFI on 22 January 2024.
