Brandon Cronenberg is setting his sights on class warfare in the most surreal and horrific way possible. We are die-hard fans of Cronenberg’s work. In fact, Possessor still holds its place in my top 10 films of the past few years. Infinity Pool is looking brilliant and like it is absolutely damning the rich and careless. We can’t wait to see Cronenberg’s latest and luckily, we won’t have to wait long.
The synopsis for Infinity Pool breaks down like this:
While staying at an isolated island resort, James (Alexander Skarsgård) and Em (Cleopatra Coleman) are enjoying a perfect vacation of pristine beaches, exceptional staff, and soaking up the sun. But guided by the seductive and mysterious Gabi (Mia Goth), they venture outside the resort grounds and find themselves in a culture filled with violence, hedonism, and untold horror. A tragic accident leaves them facing a zero tolerance policy for crime: either you’ll be executed, or, if you’re rich enough to afford it, you can watch yourself die instead.
Infinity Pool arrives in theaters beginning January 27.
