iPhone-shot UNSANE : Sneak Peek
Claire Foy, best known for playing Queen Elizabeth II in Netflix’s The Crown, is seen here in the first released clip from Soderbergh’s iPhone-shot thriller UNSANE. Foy plays a young woman, involuntarily committed to a mental institution, and this first clip from the film finds her desperately trying to persuade the police via a phone call she is being held against her will.
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.
Joshua Leonard, Jay Pharoah, Juno Temple, Aimee Mullins, and Amy Irving also star in the R-rated thriller. Unsane is due to make its world premiere the Berlin International Film Festival, before opening in theatres on March 23.
