The Sundance Film Festival entry 'Nanny' follows an immigrant domestic worker in New York City tormented by supernatural forces.
, “Nanny” combines a domestic drama with elements of folklore and horror filmmaking to create an unsettling examination of work, privilege and perseverance.
Jusu noted how she is influenced by international filmmakers such as Bong Joon Ho, Park Chan-wook, Lynne Ramsey, Andrea Arnold and Guillermo del Toro in her approach to using genre as part of her storytelling.“The cinema that I have a lot of reverence for tends to be crossing multiple genres. Whereas in America, we’re very much pigeonholed into, ‘Is this horror? Is this drama? Is this a comedy?’” said Jusu.
That tension between internal and external forces at play for Aisha was a strong motivation for Diop as well.“I remember feeling that Aisha — as the film goes on and as these supernatural elements and everything else start confronting her,” Diop explained, “and trying to approach it from an acting standpoint and from a grounded standpoint — she just is becoming more and more confused.
“When Aisha does show up in these spaces, in Amy’s world, she has to shut down a lot of who she is in order to be in these spaces and to do the job that they’ve hired her to do,” said Diop, also familiar to audiences from her role on the HBO Max series “Titans.” “And I’ve seen my mom do it, I saw my mom do it for so long.
As Moulterie explained, “I think even pre-pandemic, we really wanted to figure out how to shoot it in New York. And we had a brief period of trying to maybe switch gears given what was going on in the world. But it was really important to find authentic spaces, and we might have made a few compromises, but the apartment needed to look and feel like an affluent space in New York City. So we leaned into Tribeca and we made it work.
