Look Away Reflects a Dark Inner Voice in this First Trailer

Director Assaf Bernstein wrote and directed the thriller The Debt in 2007. This title was remade for U.S. markets in 2010. Bernstein's U.S. film debut is the psychological thriller Look Away. Originally titled Behind the Glass, this film looks at an isolated, young woman and her desire for something more. When she turns to a dark, inner voice, Maria finds herself in a new, violent world. As well, Look Away stars: India Eisley (Underworld: Awakening), Mira Sorvino (Mimic), and Jason Isaacs (A Cure for Wellness). The film's early release details and trailer are available here.

In a 2016 interview with Deadline, Bernstein mentioned that the idea for Look Away was developed when he was a child. In the interview he also talks about the pivotal role of Maria: "the double role of Maria/Airam is an amazingly powerful, rare and dynamic role (Deadline)." Bernstein also states that the role of the father is dark and enigmatic. Characters Dan (Isaacs) and Maria (Eisley) are both complex and tortured as seen in the film's first trailer.

Vertical Entertainment will handle the film's release. Look Away is slated for a mid-October release, on Digital and in a few, select theatres. U.S. fans will want to keep this disturbing thriller on their minds, if they are in the mood for something a bit more dark and exciting. All of the available release details, on Look Away, are below.
