This movie has a rather sadistic draw to is. Downloading Nancy is about two wounded souls who are unhappy with their life and take connect with one another when Nancy (Maria Bello) contacts a stranger (Jason Patric) on the internet to kill her. In a weird twist of events through e-mail, pictures, and promises of perverse sexual encounters the two find comfort in one another. They use physical violence in order to release their internal pain. The more violent the sex, the deeper the love.

The more I see on this film, the more it fascinates and at the same time freaks me out. Nancy is not just confused sexually, but she has no concept of what real human emotion is. Although the film looks interesting, one has to wonder how painful it will be to watch?

For those of you who attended last year’s Sundance Film Festival, you may have gotten a sneak peak at director Johan Renck‘s Downloading Nancy. The film was nominated for the Grand Jury Prize at the 2008 festival, but did not win. However, the recognition was enough for the film to be released in select theaters this March. Check out the latest trailer above.

The film stars Maria Bello (World Trade Center, Thank You For Smoking) as an unhappy wife, Nancy, who wants to die. Rather then kill herself, however, she hires a stranger from the Internet, played by Jason Patric, to carry out the deed. Death evades Nancy when she meets Patric and the two unexpectedly fall in love.
