This shocking and amazing sci-fi drama directed by Claire Denis follows a group of voyaging astronauts who switch their attention from black holes to sex

Claire Denis' "High Life," about a group of prisoners being used as guinea pigs in a deep space mission, is tailor-made for viewers who like science fiction in a cryptic 1970s art-house mode, and don't care if the movie is of-the-period ("The Man Who Fell to Earth," "Alien," "Silent Running") or consciously aping it ("Under the Skin," "Ex Machina," "Annihilation") as long as it delivers the goods by challenging the audience.

While High Life has understandably drawn all kinds of comparisons to the 60s and 70s cerebral sci-fi canon (notably Solaris and 2001: A Space Odyssey), for both its abstract use of space imagery and its minimalist ship design which more often than not resembles an artificially-lit hospital filled with dated technology

Robert Pattinson’s Performance Brings Tenderness to the Chilling, Dystopian 'High Life’
2195d ago
Acclaimed French director Claire Denis’ first English-language film is a sorrowful trip to the end of life, the universe and everything

Ryan Gosling and Robert Pattinson blast off into two very different outer space movies
2195d ago
Transfixing? A bore? I cannot answer for you. If think Christopher Nolan’s “Interstellar” is as far out as you go with this sort of setting, this is not your thing. Undeniably, though, High Life is an organic achievement.
2195d ago
High Life is a vision of the future as bleak and feverish as director Claire Denis’s 2013 thriller Bastards.

‘High Life’: Claire Denis Makes Strange, Scary, Kinky Sci-Fi With Robert Pattinson
2195d ago
Robert Pattinson stars in the kinky, confounding space odyssey High Life
2195d ago
Denis delves into the group psychology of a beleaguered crew, housed in an interplanetary rust bucket. Her devotees will claim, correctly, that her movie blooms with provocative ideas.

Robert Pattinson’s outer-space drama ‘High Life’ is fascinating yet frustrating
2195d ago
Robert Pattinson and Juliette Binoche star in French director Claire Denis’ first English-language effort, which world premiered in Toronto.
2195d ago
Too often the ideas here, visual and otherwise, feel haphazard — outer and inner space, Pattinson’s head, sexual taboo, apocalypse now or maybe then — more like material for a vision board than a fully realized vision.
2195d ago
There's something deeply frustrating when a director who has traditionally steered clear of working in a genre dips their toes and then claims, no, it's not a genre piece. It's a statement that the filmmaker thinks that genre is beneath them, like it's lucky that they are there. And so it is with Claire Denis, who has distanced herself from the notion that her science-fiction film High Life is a science-fiction film. It undoubtedly is. It's just not a particularly good one.
