Berlin Syndrome
The new trailer for Sundance break-out thriller Berlin Syndrome has been released online. The film stars Teresa Palmer as a backpacker who gets herself in a bit of a pickle in Berlin, a place where we actually reviewed the film just last month.
Teresa Palmer plays Clare, an Australian twenty-something travelling through the German capital backpacking. On a day wandering around the Kreuzberg district of the city, she happily snaps images of the GDR structures and pick up second hand clothes in trendy street-side market stalls where she meets a charming local man named Andy (Max Riemelt, Sense8) who offers to show her around. Naturally one thing leads to another and the couple end up sleeping together, but when Andy leaves for work the following day, Clare finds herself locked inside his upper-floor apartment with no way of getting out. Assuming that this is just a mistake on his part, Clare makes herself comfortable until the high school teacher returns home from work. When the same thing happens the following day, Clare realises that things have taken a darker turn, especially when she notices the word ‘Meine’ tattooed on her back. What follows is an unrelenting, enormously tense two-hour thriller which will keep you questioning everything until the very end.
Here’s the official synopsis:
In the new horror-thriller Berlin Syndrome, an Australian photographer Clare meets a charismatic local, Andi, while vacationing in Berlin. There is an instant attraction between them and a night of passion ensues. But, what initially appears to be the start of a romance, takes an unexpected and sinister turn when Clare wakes the following morning to discover Andi has left for work and locked her in his apartment. An easy mistake to make, of course — except Andi has no intention of letting her go again. Ever.
