Film Movement has released an official U.S. trailer for Nina Wu, which follows the titular actress (Ke-Xi Wu, who also co-wrote the script) on a harrowing psychological journey while making a film that would be her big break.
Directed by Midi Z, Nina Wu also stars Yu-Hua Sung, Yu-Chiao Hsia, and Ming-Shuai Shih. It begins a theatrical run in New York on March 20th.
After toiling for years in bit-parts, aspiring actress Nina Wu (Ke-Xi Wu, who also co-wrote the script based on her own personal experiences) finally gets her big break with a leading role in a spy thriller set in the 1960s. The part, which calls for nudity and explicit sex scenes, is made all the more challenging thanks to the director’s unending belittlements. While seemingly on the brink of professional triumph, Nina’s psychological resolve begins to crack under the pressure. As she rushes to her childhood home following a family emergency, Nina begins suffering paranoid fantasies that a mysterious woman is stalking and attacking her. As Nina clings to memories of happier times, it seems that there is one crucial memory that she is repressing…
Woah this looks so insane and terrifying and mesmerizing all once. I don’t even know what to think.
