This beautifully composed drama centres on a middle-aged filmmaker and her mother, who spend a few nights in an old country hotel, a location that holds meaning for them both. It's 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 meta-textual delights.

The Seasons in Quincy is the result of a five-year project by Tilda Swinton and Colin MacCabe to produce a portrait of this fascinating figure and celebrate his ideas, his art and the man himself. The four essay films that comprise The Seasons in Quincy combine different aspects of Berger s life in the Haute-Savoie with ideas and motifs from his work amid the reflective atmosphere of his mountain home. Each film was created as an individual work of art but viewed together form a beautifully paced and meditative feature-length documentary that demonstrates how film can move beyond text and art to offer a multi-faceted and multi-layered portrait of an extraordinary human being.
