The newest film Director Darren Aronofsky, mother!, whose première took place recently in the Film Festival in Venice, will open Dracula Film Festival, being projected in national preview. The fifth edition of the Festival dedicated to horror and fantasy films, Dracula Film Festival will be held between October 18-22, in Brașov.
mother!, the movie American publication The New Yorker called “a delightful, dreadful and almost incredible satire of Fame”, starring two Academy Award winners: Jennifer Lawrence (Silver Linings Playbook) Javier Bardem (No Country For Old Men). Directed and screenplay are signed by Darren Aronofsky, (nominated for an Academy Award for Black Swan), while distribution is complemented by Ed Harris and Michelle Pfeiffer.
The film, which the author said was born in the primordial soup of anger and helplessness, tells the story of a couple whose relationship is put to the test when they get some uninvited house guests, which will bedevil peaceful existence. A troubling psychological thriller about love, devotion and sacrifice.
