Max Montgomery/Courtesy 2pm Sharp Los Angeles-based Turkish actress Cemre Paksoy — who is known in her country for roles in hit series “The Affair” and Netflix’s “As the Crow Flies” — is breaking new ground by playing Eleni Sadik, the lead in erotic thriller “Night Nurse,” whom she calls “a strange woman with a tendency for perversion.”
“Night Nurse,” which premiered in the NEXT section at Sundance Film Festival in January, marks the directorial debut of Georgia Bernstein. The indie movie is set in a luxury retirement community where Eleni is hired to take care of an enigmatic elderly patient, played by Bruce McKenzie (“House,” “Breaking Bad”). He draws her into perpetrating a series of phone scams as they become increasingly intimate and “the line blurs between care and desire, devotion and delusion,” as the film’s synopsis puts it.
