Extremely long-term anticipation thread for Claire Denis, Zadie Smith and Olafur Eliasson's Sci-Fi film, High Life

they are equally terrible.

I liked this a lot. Very strange and creepy rhythm to the whole thing. Binoche looks demonic skulking about the ship while everyone else is passed out. The ending was quite beautiful.

it's not reactions to the sex i'm dreading ... it's people saying the following: "that was COMPLETELY POINTLESS!"

called this wrong: not nearly as many walkouts as the beach bum and the ones we did get were over the sex after all. lobby vibe afterwards was more "...huh" than exasperated

i liked it more as it went along but did fight sleep for a few stretches. however i was delighted from the beginning by the loving use of code page 437 (or something v like it) for the computer interfaces: my kind of retro

also loved binoche's hair

Finally got around to this now that its on amazon prime, thought it was ok but had a very hard time not switching it off during juliette binoche's scene in the dildo box, one of the silliest sex scenes this side of The Room

Technically impressive--the sound design is excellent, and I love the junkiness of their vessel, particularly in the exterior shots--but I fidgeted through much of the running time and ultimately didn't get a whole lot out of it. The fuckbox was just Clooney's dildo bicycle thing from Burn After Reading, only not meant to be funny.

Yea this was a letdown even though Pattinson was good

I’ve missed some of his more acclaimed work of recent years (Cosmopolis, Good Time) but this is definitely his best performance that I’ve seen.

"you don't have an engine in your ass!"

Haha, I love that. I also loved this film.
