The director of the new GoodnightMommy on PrimeVideo talks mining a new corner of the original concept.
When it comes to offering audiences a"remake" of a beloved story, there are a number of ways in which to bring a new take on the material to life, with director of the new Goodnight Mommy Matt Sobel taking one of the more effective approaches.
He continued,"We started talking about our reinterpretation. We started calling it a 're-imagining,' actually, and thinking about themes that were important to us that were maybe not present in the original film. It's not to knock the original film at all. I think that the original filmmakers would agree, actually, I'm sure that they would because we spoke about it, that there doesn't need to be a shot-for-shot remake of that film.
"So the themes that really interested us were the, 'us' meaning Kyle and I, the human tendency to see ourselves as the heroes or the victims of our own lives and never to see ourselves as the villain," the director continued."And we thought that was a topical theme. We thought that was an interesting theme that interested us in other projects that we were working on and saw a way that the elements of the plot of Goodnight Mommy could be shaped to tell that thematic story.
"A lot of delineation happened organically from that core difference of ideas, so from that idea sprung the idea that Elias is the main character," Sobel explained."From that idea sprung the notion, 'Well, we want to see the world differently because we're not seeing it in this more sterile, austere, objective way, but we're seeing it through his eyes.' We want to make it seem like this movie is the movie inside Elias' mind, not this tableau.
