I knew I was in troubled territory when the movie spends a whopping 18 minutes (18!) to set up that Pattinson is alone in space with a baby and everyone else on his crew is dead. The following two hours will explore the hazards of space, the fragility of man, and the weirdness of French people. We follow Monte (Robert Pattinson) along with a baby and we're left to determine how they got here. High Life is set in the deep of space with a crew made up of prisoners serving life sentences. High Life is a challenging, provocative science-fiction movie by French director Claire Denis (Let the Sunshine In), making her English-language debut. The one movie more of my friends have cited as their favorite of 2019, besides Avengers, is a small little indie that left theaters as quickly as it arrived. Whether that is the movie's purpose or just a poorly handled ending, it still left me not wanting more. I won't spoil the ending but frankly it leaves you unsatisfied. I'm not a fan of artsy movies so I won't belabor my issues here as my opinion on what is good art I will leave to other critics.ĭeath row inmates are used as fertility lab rats as the super horny doctor (Juliet Pinoche) does weird experiments on them (something with sperm and fertilization or maybe not?!?).Īnd then there's the cool looking black hole that is not low budget (similar effect as Instersteallar's black hole) that apparently can provide alternative energy to humanity. "Highlife" is an artsy attempt at a claustrophobic erotic drama set in a junky spaceship in deep space. As such, this review may be biased in comparison which really isn't fair because they are two very different movies. Having just recently watched the excellent 2018 low budget sci-fi flick "Prospect", I then watched Robert Pattinson's "High Life," another low-budget sci-fi movie released the same year. The most unerotic erotic space movie of all time.
