Trailer Watch: Tilda Swinton Takes on Dual Roles in Joanna Hogg’s Ghost Story “The Eternal Daughter”

"The Eternal Daughter"

Tilda Swinton ventures to a haunted house in her latest collaboration with Joanna Hogg. “The Eternal Daughter” sees the Oscar winner taking on two roles, Julie and Rosalind Hart, a mother and daughter who return to a former family home, now operating as a hotel. “Memories flood back in this place, quietly in the evening through the building and on the grounds,” we’re told in a new trailer for the ghost story. Apparently, it’s someone or something’s “way of staying in touch.”

This trip down memory lane isn’t exactly welcome. Besides hearing strange sounds, the women find themselves being pulled back into the past. “The longer we’re here, the more it comes back: the dread,” Rosalind tells Julie. The spot doesn’t reveal precisely what happened in the house way back when, or even hint at it, but it’s clear that both Julie and Rosalind are disturbed by what’s going on.

Swinton first teamed up with Hogg for “Caprice,” a 1986 short that the former starred in and the latter wrote and directed. They reunited for 2019’s “The Souvenir” and 2021’s “The Souvenir: Part II,” Hogg’s duology charting the coming-of-age story of a film student. Swinton had a supporting role in the dramas, which were led by Honor Swinton Byrne, her daughter.

Swinton won an Oscar for “Michael Clayton.” She recently starred in “Three Thousand Years of Longing,” the story of a scholar who is granted three wishes.

“The Eternal Daughter” hits theaters and on demand December 2.
