Robert Pattinson, Juliette Binoche Star In Trailer For A24 Films Sci-Fi Drama HIGH LIFE

From director Claire Denis, starring Robert Pattinson, Juliette Binoche, Andre Benjamin, and Mia Goth, watch the trailer for HIGH LIFE.

The film, a staggering and primal film about love and intimacy, suffused with anguished memories of a lost Earth, premiered at the 2018 Toronto International Film Festival and was met with overwhelming praise from the critics.

” “High Life” can’t be separated from Pattinson’s omnipresent performance, and he seems perfectly attuned to the uncanny demands of Denis and Jean-Pol Fargeau’s challenging script, which is so precise, almost deterministic in its details, yet so elusive in overall effect. With few words of dialogue, but a great deal of screen time, he also carries this foreboding, dissociative film’s slender thread of connection in the relationship between Monte and the baby (named Willow, according to the sinister lullaby that is the closing track, written by Staples, performed by Tindersticks, and sung by Pattinson). But we shouldn’t overstate: His presence, plus the loosely familiar genre, and the English language dialogue, might make you believe this is a more accessible Claire Denis film than we’ve seen. It is not.” – Variety

“Claire Denis Takes Robert Pattinson on an Erotic Space Odyssey in This Mesmerizing Look into the Void.” – IndieWire

“Every day is a battle to stay sane (less apparent among Denis’ feats here is that she has casually constructed a remorselessly honest look into the psychological ramifications of incarceration), so extreme, bizarre measures must sometimes be called on. With an achievement of this calibre it’s hard to resist hyperbole: High Life contains the single greatest one-person sex scene in the history of cinema.” – The Guardian

“haunting score by regular composer Stuart A. Staples (of the Tindersticks) and production design by Francois-Renaud Labarthe (Personal Shopper) that gives the ship a very dirty and dysfunctional sheen, mirroring the lives of its turbulent passengers, who can only remain in peace for so long.” – The Hollywood Reporter

From A24 Films, HIGH LIFE opens in theaters April 12, 2019.
