The time has come once again for the Blu-Ray release of a new Steven Soderbergh film. This time, it’s Unsane, his stab at the one genre he hadn’t previously tackled, horror. But, as one might expect, a Soderbergh horror film isn’t about bumps in the night so much as the unfettered evil of capitalism and those who profit off its evil. Even as it turns into more heightened genre fare, it’s a very true-to-life house of horrors, about the unending trauma of being stalked and the real-life phenomena of mental institutions extorting insurance companies by locking up perfectly healthy people. It’s pretty on-brand stuff for the man whose tawdry lesbian thriller is also about the sins of pharmaceutical companies. And it’s all shot on an iPhone, which gives it a harsh, oversharpened look that’s perfect to keep the audience on their toes at all times (and the tininess of the camera allows Soderbergh to place it in new and exciting places). And it’s a high-wire showcase for The Crown‘s Claire Foy, throwing herself into the central character without being afraid to make her genuinely unlikable (the most conventionally “likable” character in the film is played by Jay Pharoah, in another great bit of Soderbergh’s ongoing comedian stunt-casting).

Other stuff comes out this week too, I guess. New titles are otherwise a near-complete loss, with shit like Paul, Apostle of Christ and Midnight Sun and the Pacific Rim sequel no one asked for in this particular form. Catalog titles, meanwhile, are actually decent, with Kino surprisingly leading the pack with releases of the lesser Hitchcock film Under Capricorn (the only Hitchcock shot by Jack Cardiff), Fritz Lang’s The Woman in the Window, and several films from the American Film Theatre. Criterion, meanwhile, comes out with Victor Erice’s El Sur, and, uh, Bowling for Columbine, which I’m sure will pay handsomely for any future Victor Erice movies they want to restore. And also out there are releases of Vincente Minnelli’s semi-sequel to The Bad and the Beautiful, Two Weeks in Another Town, and the infamous bunny-horror film Night of the Lepus. Maybe that’s the kind of horror Soderbergh should tackle next.
