Sundance 2020: 10 Films Everyone Is Buzzing About
8. Into The Deep
Imagine shooting a documentary about an interesting individual who is skilled in a certain craft - sports, cooking, you name it - only for them to commit a murder during the filming period. Absolutely horrifying, right?
Well, that's the premise at the heart of Into The Deep, Emma Sullivan's documentary about Danish inventor Peter Madsen. Sullivan was already shooting what seemed like a pretty engaging piece about the talented engineer and his projects, before things took a much darker turn in August 2017 when Madsen murdered Swedish journalist Kim Wall onboard his privately-built submarine.
The movie has been called more "bone-chilling" than many of the horror films in attendance at the festival, with Sullivan deftly capturing the utter confusion and shock that stems from her subject's brutal turn. It streams on Netflix later this year, so we don't have long to wait to witness it for ourselves.
