The film adaptation of Ottessa Moshfegh’s award-winning debut novel is here and it features a stacked team of creators both in front of and behind the lens.
Thomasin McKenzie leads Eileen as the title character, a young woman living in Boston in the 1960s. Things are quite dreary for Eileen who spends her time either at home with her drunk and jobless father (Shea Whigham) or working at a nearby prison alongside colleagues who prefer to avoid her. However, things change when Anne Hathaway’s Rebecca becomes a member of the prison staff. Eileen is instantly enamored by her radiance and thrilled with the opportunity to come out of her shell a bit with Rebecca’s guidance. However, as Eileen gains confidence, things take an unexpected dark turn.
In addition to McKenzie, Hathaway and Whigham, the Eileen team includes Academy Award-nominated cinematographer Ari Wegner, a score by Richard Reed Parry, and, of course, a BAFTA-nominated director in William Oldroyd.
With Eileen making its debut at the 2023 Sundance Film Festival, Hathaway, McKenzie, Whigham, Oldroyd, Moshfegh, and Luke Goebel who penned the screenplay alongside Moshfegh all visited the Collider Studio presented by Saratoga Spring Water to discuss their experience making the film.
