Throughout the minute and a half clip, a sad and somehow sexy version of “New York, New York” plays in the background. It turns out this is Carey Mulligan’s own beautiful voice carrying the tune. The song comes into play when Michael Fassbender’s character, Brandon, goes to a restaurant to see his younger sister sing.

Because of the highly sexual content of the film, including scenes of full frontal nudity from both Fassbender and Mulligan, the film received an NC-17 rating. Searchlight is not planning to appeal the rating or make any cuts to secure an R-rating. Instead, it’s readying a major awards push for the film.
