.TheWolfman says InfinityPool is a 'nightmarish excursion into the depths of depravity only afforded by those with deep enough pockets.' Full review here:
Even before a single glimpse at the film emerged, Infinity Pool became one of the most anticipated genre efforts of the year. From filmmaker Brandon Cronenberg, who found success with his Antiviral and Possessor Uncut, and starring Alexander Skarsgård and Mia Goth, audiences knew that they couldn't ever be prepared for whatever these collaborators could unleash on unsuspecting viewers.
Cronenberg once again manages to push the limits of taste with the intense and hypnotic visuals he puts to screen, refusing to compromise his vision, no matter how boundary-pushing it might be. There's surely some discomforting visuals contained in the film, both sexual and violent in nature, yet he handles these conceptually graphic sequences with maturity.
Even though the overall experience is disturbing, provocative, and all-too-real, being able to boil the film down into HBO surrogates highlights that the story doesn't break new ground. As artists have grown increasingly aware and irritated by capitalistic divides, we've seen a surge of stories that comment on how the rich seem to exist in an alternate reality in which societal rules no longer apply to them.
