#WATCH GOODNIGHT MOMMY PART 1 MOVIE#

In their indivisibility and creepy quietness, they remind us of the twin girls in The Shining (1980). You can tell something is not quite right with those two: They play hide-and-seek, jump on the trampoline, or sneak a cat into their bedroom like any other kid, but they also collect humongous cockroaches they keep in a jar, create weird-looking masksвЂ¦and also, itвЂ™s a catвЂ™s corpse, not a live kitten. The boys escape the isolated houseвЂ™s unsettling atmosphere by playing in the surrounding Austrian countryside. She keeps the blinds lowered, forbids the twins from making any noise at all in the house, purposely ignores Lukas - going as far as refusing to serve him food - and even hits Elias when he fails to follow her rules. In addition to that strange appearance, the mother (who is never named) starts exhibiting unnerving behavior. Plot Summary The two identical twin protagonists, Elias and Lukas Schwarz.Д®lias and Lukas (played by the eponymous Elias and Lukas Schwarz), two nine-year-old twins, are taken aback when their mother (Susanne Wuest) comes home after undergoing extensive plastic surgery, leaving her whole face wrapped in bandages with only her eyes and mouth visible. You can tell that if thereвЂ™s that much symbolism in the title, we have a lot to unpack in this analysis! From the twisted mother role to the use of masks and silence throughout the movie, weвЂ™ll see how Goodnight Mommy manages to build up such a gripping tension. Its international title that sounds like a creepy lullaby is far from the original German one, Ich Seh, Ich Seh ( I See, I See), referring to twin protagonistsвЂ™ dual point of view and pointing out how misleading oneвЂ™s perception can be. Making their debut as writer/directors, Veronika Franz and Severin Fiala follow the lead of other great Austrian directors such as Michael Haneke (no doubt thereвЂ™s a Funny Games (1997) twist in the filmвЂ™s brutal, sadistic last part) and Ulrich Seidl ( The Paradise Trilogy, 2012), who produced Goodnight Mommy and is FranzвЂ™s husband and FialaвЂ™s uncle.
