After enjoying a healthy festival and VOD run (while racking up several accolades in the process), Nicolas Pesce’s THE EYES OF MY MOTHER is set to hit BluRay and DVD on March 7th courtesy of Magnolia Home Entertainment under the Magnet Label.

While it’s hard to argue with the film’s haunting and gorgeous approach, our own review wasn’t without its critiques. Regardless, this is one of those films that’s guaranteed to look even better in all of it’s minimally compressed 1080p glory that only a genuine BluRay copy can provide.

In their secluded farmhouse, a mother, formerly a surgeon in Portugal, teaches her daughter, Francisca, to understand anatomy and be unfazed by death. One afternoon, a mysterious visitor horrifyingly shatters the idyll of Francisca’s family life, deeply traumatizing the young girl, but also awakening some unique curiosities. Though she clings to her increasingly reticent father, Francisca’s loneliness and scarred nature converge years later when her longing to connect with the world around her takes on a distinctly dark form. Shot in crisp black and white, the haunting, and at times disturbing, visual compositions of THE EYES OF MY MOTHER evoke its protagonist’s isolation and illuminate her deeply unbalanced worldview. Genre-inflected, but so strikingly unique as to defy categorization, writer/director Nicolas Pesce’s assured feature debut allows us only an elliptical presence in Francisca’s world, guiding our imaginations to follow her into peculiar, secret places.
