'Infinity Pool': Brandon Cronenberg Explains the NC-17 Rating Situation

Brandon Cronenberg explains the InfinityPool NC-17 rating situation.

If Brandon Cronenberg is behind a film you know you’re going to get something extremely unique, bold, and packed to the brim with next-level daring performances. He delivered just that with his feature directorial debut, Antiviral, his second feature, Possessor starring Academy Award nominee Andrea Riseborough, and now the same is true of his third film, Infinity Pool with Mia Goth, Alexander Skarsgård, and Cleopatra Coleman.

CRONENBERG: It started with the first execution scene. I was writing a story actually that was just set entirely in that scene where someone's watching themselves being executed in this fictional state and relating to this double of themselves and maybe wondering which version is real. What is the last — I have no memory of anything that happened since then and that was 2014.

CRONENBERG: It was kind of weirdly easy. I was working with a lot of friends. Film Forge from Toronto, they're all people I'm really close to, and then Neon had put out Possessor, so I don't know if they just were too embarrassed to tell me that it was a terrible idea or what was going on there, but they essentially ran with it pretty quickly.

COLEMAN: That’s a very good question. Damn, I don't know. Em is kind of a buttoned up person and there's this really pivotal moment in which Mia's character has to convince us not to take the traditional route of going to the police and reporting it. It's very scary for Em, so it's possible that she would've done the same thing, but I don't know if she would've been as corrupted as James ends up being.

CRONENBERG: It’s hard to articulate, but really, a lot. For me, by the time I'm actually shooting, I’m kind of bored of the characters as written because I've been with them for too long. I'm not really looking for someone to embody the thing that I thought the character was gonna be from the start.

SKARSGÅRD: One of my favorite things was Brandon collaborates with a lot of people that go back to short films 15 years ago, and to see Brandon with his team of close friends and collaborators and Karim [Hussain], our DP, to see the two of them be so playful and have so much fun on set creates an environment that’s just great for creativity for all of us in front of camera because you see that there's so much joy and happiness and curiosity from Brandon and Karim.
