CLICK HERE for an Exclusive Music Box Interview with HIGH LIFE Director Claire Denis
Monte (Robert Pattinson) and his baby daughter are the last survivors of a damned and dangerous mission to deep space. The crew—death-row inmates led by a doctor (Juliette Binoche) with sinister motives—has vanished. As the mystery of what happened onboard the ship is unraveled, father and daughter must rely on each other to survive as they hurtle toward the oblivion of a black hole.
A staggering and primal film about love and intimacy, suffused with anguished memories of a lost Earth, HIGH LIFE is a haunting, thrilling achievement from visionary director Claire Denis.
“A masterpiece. Seek out a second, third and fourth viewing” -- The Globe And Mail
“An eerily sexy space thriller.” -- Vanity Fair
