Last night at Telluride, Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim’s secret documentary on Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes made its world premiere. Today, A24 has dropped a first-look teaser for the unusual film, titled You Can See Everything, which will hit theaters in October.
So what makes You Can See Everything so strange? Well, we learned over a year ago that Fielder was visiting the infamous Holmes in federal prison. Those visits are just a small piece of the story. Holmes apparently invited a film crew to document her life just 34 days before she was due to report to prison, and what unfolded was much crazier than the filmmakers expected.
SYNOPSIS: Thirty-four days before she’s sent to prison, notorious Silicon Valley founder Elizabeth Holmes invites a skeptical film crew to document her every move. What begins as an intimate portrait of an enigmatic felon becomes a mind-bending three-year journey into the abyss. From boundary-pushing directors Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim comes You Can See Everything.
Fielder is best known for HBO’s surreal docu-comedy The Rehearsal, which suggests this won’t be a typical documentary. Teaming up with Oppenheim, whose controversial Chris Hanson drama Primetime also hit Telluride, only makes this project more interesting.
