About
PARC AT MIDNIGHT: STAFF PICKS
Selected by Maude, customer service staff member:
“I chose this film because it’s the kind of movie you can talk about with your friends or loved ones once you leave the theater. You can really discuss at what point you realized what. Definitely one to see in a group—it’s more fun that way.”
Synopsis: In 1945, immediately following the end of the Second World War, a woman lives with her two photosensitive children in her darkened old family estate. When she hires a group of servants to take care of them, she becomes convinced that the home is haunted.
“Sumptuously crafted, with moody eeriness and almost surreal visual imagery, Spanish director Alejandro Amenabar's The Others is a terrific supernatural thriller that builds and sustains its considerable suspense, without ever relying on violence or special effects. Cast in a role she was born to play, Nicole Kidman stars as a neurotic single mother, raising two seemingly problematic children while her husband is fighting in WWII. Although effectively scary, and thematically recalling the blockbuster The Sixth Sense, The Others is an art-house film par excellence.” (SCREENDAILY)
