Polish film and TV writer/director Agnieszka Smoczyńska's biographical film "The Silent Twins" is heading to Peacock. The movie is inspired by the book of the same name written by investigative journalist Marjorie Wallace. Published in 1986 under the title "The Silent Twins: A true story of love and hate, dreams and desolation, genius and destruction," Wallace's book is itself based on the true story of June and Jennifer Gibbons, twin sisters who only communicated with each other, and came to be known as "the silent twins."
Smoczyńska's film is heading to Peacock after getting a very limited theatrical release from Focus Features on September 16, 2022 -- meaning, this is probably the first time most people have even heard of the movie. So, before it joins acclaimed 2022 films like Scott Derrickson's "The Black Phone" on NBCUniversal's streaming service, here's everything you need to know about the film ahead of time.

After breaking out with her fantasy horror musical The Lure, Polish director Agnieszka Smoczyńska helmed her English-language debut with The Silent Twins, a Cannes-selected drama that will arrive this September. Ahead of the theatrical bow from Focus Features, the first trailer has landed.
Led by Letitia Wright and Tamara Lawrance, the Andrea Seigel-scripted adaptation of Marjorie Wallace’s best-seller tells the true story of twin sisters who only communicated with one another. As a result, they created a rich, fascinating world to escape the reality of their own lives. Reuniting with cinematographer Jakub Kijowski, the trailer shows off an impressive visual palette capturing the peculiar true tale.

The Silent Twins opens in theaters on September 16.

Polish film in Cannes Official SelectionThe Polish representation at the 75th Cannes International Film Festival is exceptionally strong. Although journalists are mainly wondering whether Palme d’Or will go to Jerzy Skolimowski, the author of the film ‘Eo‘, three other Polish productions — all co-financed by the Polish Film Institute — have a chance for awards in Cannes.
Main competition — Eo
Directed by Jerzy Skolimowski Eo tells a story of a donkey in an increasingly complex reality. Passed from hand to hand, the animal meets both good and bad people on its path full of bends. Skolimowski’s film is a allegory created in a Polish-Italian co-production. The director is also responsible, along with Ewa Piaskowska, for the script.
The cinematography for Eo is by Michał Dymek, Michał Englert and Paweł Edelman, and Agnieszka Glińska was responsible for the editing. Isa: Hanway
Un Certain Regard section — Silent Twins
Un Certain Regard section includes the English-language film by Agnieszka Smoczyńska who did that fabulous mermaid movie that premierd in Sundance called The Lure. Twin sisters (June and Jennifer Gibbons), described in the book The Silent Twins by Marjorie Wallace, who in their childhood “fell silent to the outside world” are recreated in the eerie story of twin sisters who were entirely silent, communicating only to each other as children. As teenagers, they became obsessed with writing fiction, then with teenage boys, and finally, with crime. The film is based on the true story of June and Jennifer Gibbons, twins from the only black family in a small town in Wales in the 1970s and 1980s.
Silent Twins is a Polish-British co-production, for which Klaudia Śmieja-Rostworowska, Bogna Szewczyk and Ewa Puszczyńska are responsible on the Polish side. The editing, as in the case of Eo, is by Agnieszka Glińska, and the music was composed by Marcin Macuk and Zuzanna Wrońska. Jakub Kijowski is responsible for the cinematography.

Section Quinzaine des Réalisateurs — Pamfir
In this section, the Polish-Ukrainian-French-Chilean co-production directed by Dmytro Sukholytkyy-Sobchuk is worth a look.
This story takes place in the west of Ukraine on the eve of the traditional carnival. This is about a loving father whose child sets fire to the house of prayer. In order to rectify his son’s guilt, Pamfir must stop “earning honestly for bread” and return to places he never wanted to return to. On the Polish side, Bogna Szewczyk Madants and Klaudia Śmieja-Rostworowska are responsible for the production. The film was edited by Nikodem Chabior. Isa: Indie Sales

Section of La Cinef Festival du Cannes — Tomorrow We are not There
In the student section, the animated short film Tomorrow We are not There by Olga Kłyszewicz is a triumph. It is an eight-minute story about a situation many of us have probably experienced: an unexpected encounter with a person who views life in a completely different way and changes our point of view unexpectedly.
Kłyszewicz’s animation was selected from among 1,528 student productions from around the world submitted to the competition and is one of only three animations out of sixteen qualified films. The Film School in Łódź is responsible for the production of the picture, and Joanna Jasińska-Koronkiewicz was its artistic supervisor.

Focus Features has landed rights to “Silent Twins,” a thriller starring Letitia Wright and Tamara Lawrance.
Based on the book by Marjorie Wallace, the film marks the English language debut of director Agnieszka Smoczynska (“The Lure”). Andrea Seigel wrote the screenplay.
Set in the 1970s and ’80s, the story follows June and Jennifer Gibbons (portrayed by Wright and Lawrance), twins from the only Black family in a small town in Wales. Feeling isolated from that unwelcoming community, the pair turn inward and reject communication with everyone but each other, retreating into their own fantasy world of artistic inspiration and adolescent desires. After a spree of vandalism inspired by an American boy they both idolize, the girls, now teenagers, are summarily sentenced to Broadmoor, an infamous psychiatric hospital, where they face the choice to separate and survive or die together.
Focus Features will distribute the film in the U.S., with Universal Pictures handling international distribution.
