High Life, the latest film from Claire Denis, premiered at the 2018 Toronto Film Festival in Canada. It is co-written by Denis, Nick Laird, Geoff Cox and Jean-Pol Fargeau.
The film stars Twilight and recent Cronenberg regular Robert Pattinson, Juliette Binoche, Outcast’s André Benjamin, Mia Goth, Lars Eidinger, Agata Buzek, Claire Tran, Ewan Mitchell and Gloria Obianyo.
In these interviews Pattinson talks about wanting to work specifically with Denis, and the director herself opines that the film is ‘not really’ sci-fi and more about something more taboo.

They find themselves in the most unimaginable situation after a storm of cosmic rays hit the ship.
