DARK ACADEMIA JUST GOT DARKER…
Cambridge University, 1979: A night at the library turns into a nightmare when a psychology student comes across a creepy painting, and the dark past of her long-dead mother threatens to impregnate the present…
Starring Lydia Makrides (DARK, Netflix) and Jack Medlin (CHANGING ENDS, ITV), Daniella DeVinter's gothic psycho-drama digs into a disturbing history of hurt, hysteria, and the wounds inflicted on women.
DIRECTOR'S STATEMENT
This little monster of a film was born between the dreaming spires of Oxford and Cambridge. Crawling with dark histories and sprawling with gothic architecture, these cities set the tone for a story that would eventually take shape as UNWELL WOMAN.
After bumping into Freud and Fassbinder while doing a German degree, I became obsessed with seventies cinema and the treatment of women’s suffering on and off-screen.
This film, I hope, will creep under your skin, and make Freud turn in his grave.
