Open-air cinema to screen 'Goodnight Mommy'


The UNIQ Open-Air Stage is screening critically acclaimed films to experience the nostalgic atmosphere of old open-air theaters. Austrian director Ulrich Seidl's drama "Goodnight Mommy," which once competed in the Oscars in the "Best Foreign Language Film" category, will be screened today. Nine-year-old twin brothers anxiously await their mother's return home from hospital. When their mother arrives with bandages all over her face after cosmetic surgery, the brothers begin to question whether this woman is their real mother or not. Directed by Veronika Franz and Severin Fiala, the Austrian thriller, which stars Susanne Wuest, Lukas A. Elias Schwarz, Hans Escher and Elfriede Schatz, caused a sensation in Europe with members of the audience passing out during some scenes.When: ThursdayWhere: UNIQ Open Air Stage
