InfinityPool is another shocking nightmare from Brandon Cronenberg, as Alexander Skarsgård and Mia Goth go off the deep end. Our Sundance2023 review:
When you're the son of David Cronenberg, it’s easy to imagine that it would be hard to get out of the shadow of one of the greatest body-horror filmmakers ever. But with 2020’s Possessor, Brandon Cronenberg proved that not only could he provide his own nightmare fuel to the masses, but he could also make films that are arguably even more unsettling than his father—a truly impressive achievement.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Infinity Pool begins with James and Em , a couple vacationing on a resort in the fictional location of Li Tolqa. James is an author who hasn’t put out a new book in six years and comes to this place to seek inspiration. This vacation destination is a getaway for the wealthy, complete with a barbwire fence to keep out the locals, who aren't a fan of the tourists.The couple meets Gabi and Alban , who illegally take them out of the resort, and to a nearby beach.
Without spoiling the twists and turns of Infinity Pool, which again, there are many, Infinity Pool shows Cronenberg at his best when he’s more abstract with his horrors. As hallucinogenic substances are brought into the story, Cronenberg creates terrifying yet seductive imagery that combines extreme sexual imagery, disconcerting horror elements, and just a complete unawareness of what the hell is going on.
Yet this exploration of base urges makes for two awe-inducing performances by Skarsgård and Goth. Both have fully embraced the true insanity of this story, and are well-aware of the humor inherent in this concept. Skarsgård gets unspeakably unhinged as this tale progresses, while Goth simply accepts the mania this story requires and plays up to it.
