Mischief
Mischief
A Fantasy and Mystery film released in 2018, Mischief runs 1h 31m and comes from Germany. Soap2Day lists it with John Bock directing and Effi Rabsilber and Lars Eidinger in the cast. Set in a Medieval town, the film has a theatrical quality, as the behaviours and actions of the characters are exaggerated almost to the point of satire. Nevertheless, its relatively dark and heavy plot yields over-the-top expressions from the actors. There is little dialogue as the story opens: a mother is seen tending to her sick daughter, whom she is then told must be sacrificed to the forest. The viewers patiently but curiously watch the mother perform healing rituals with objects like egg shells, dried plants and twigs–also recurring in the installation–until the daughter mysteriously disappears.
