Novelist Ottessa Moshfegh gets her first adaptation
Over the course of her writing career, Ottessa Moshfegh has created tales of unfortunate, unlikable, and downright repulsive protagonists. Narcissists, weirdos, and outcasts litter her bibliography., established this character type for Moshfegh and coincidentally also happens to be her first novel to be adapted for film. With a screenplay co-written by Luke Goebel and Moshfegh and directed by William Oldroyd, this adaptation transfers over Moshfegh’s bleak wit and ethos well enough.
Eileen is a secretary at a boys’ prison in 1960s Massachusetts. There, she helps the families of inmates check in and get their paperwork done pre-visit. In her spare time, she takes care of her brutal drunk father and denies herself bodily pleasures. She chews and spits out mountains of chocolates, vaguely taking care of her “propensity for sweets,” and plays voyeur at the local make-out point until she gets too aroused and ices herself with snow.
