Horror rendered in black - and - white can conduct a haunting caliber that the butcherly of blood - red could never dream of achieving . No wonderment contemporaneous filmmakers are still fond of it . A Girl walk plate Alone at Night is a recent example — as is The Eyes of My Mother , from author - director Nicolas Pesce .
Here ’s the official verbal description :
In their cloistered farmhouse , a female parent , formerly a operating surgeon in Portugal , teaches her girl , Francisca , to see anatomy and be unfazed by death . One good afternoon , a cryptic visitor shatters the idyll of Francisca ’s family spirit , deeply traumatizing the young girl , but also awakening unique curio . Though she stick to her increasingly restrained father , Francisca ’s solitariness and scarred nature converge years after when her longing to link up with the domain around her takes on a dark pattern . Shot in crispy dim and white , the haunting optical physical composition suggest its admirer ’s closing off and enlighten her deeply crazy worldview .
The still image that frames the lagger , below , evokes 1960 ’s eye Without a cheek — another great ignominious - and - white horror film with some twisted parent / nipper themes .
The eye of My Mother , which is part of this week ’s Fantastic Fest , do to theatre and VOD on December 2 .
