In may, #Soggettiva investigates the work of English director presenting all his films. On the occasion of the screening of his latest work The Eternal Daughter, presented at the Venice Film Festival in 2022, Joanna Hogg joined a conversation with curator Paolo Moretti. The Eternal Daughter returns to the formal elegance of the director’s previous works Exhibition and The Souvenir, and reflects upon the mother/daughter relationship, as well as on the encounter of two generations in an evocative and suspended atmosphere. With her interpretation of both lead roles, Tilda Swinton gives one of the greatest and most hypnotic performances of her entire career. In 2022, the film premiered at the Venice Film Festival and was featured in the official selection of the Toronto Film Festival.
