There’s a whole lot of reasons that Steven Soderbergh‘s “Unsane” is riding high on our must-see list this spring. Firstly, the movie finds the always innovative director breaking out his iPhone, and shooting the whole damn thing on his mobile. Oh yeah, he also did this pretty much entirely in secret, with news of the project only leaking after it had wrapped. Even more, it sees “The Crown” star Claire Foy in a decidedly less glamorous role, as a woman who has either gone mad….or is mad.
Co-starring Juno Temple, Joshua Leonard, Jay Pharoah, and Amy Irving, “Unsane” tells the story of a woman who winds up committed in a mental institution and tries to regain her freedom. Here’s the synopsis:
A young woman leaves her hometown to escape a troubled past and begin a new job. When she is involuntarily committed to a mental institution she is confronted by her greatest fear – but is it real or just her delusion? With seemingly no-one ready to believe her and the authorities unable or unwilling to help, she must confront her fears head on. With twisting perspectives and a shocking narrative, Unsane asks questions about our perception of reality, our survival instinct and the system that is supposed to take care of us.
“Unsane” will premiere this month at the Berlin International Film Festival, and opens on March 23rd.
