Mischief (2018): cast, story & where to watch
2018 · Film
Released in 2018, Mischief is a fantasy and mystery film directed by John Bock, running about 91 minutes.
What it’s about. 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.
Who’s in it. Mischief stars Effi Rabsilber as Mutter, Lars Eidinger as Fremder, Frank Seppeler as Sippenoberhaupt and Jose Marlit Schneider as Tochter, among others.
