Review of High Life

High Life (2018)

PRISON IN OUTER SPACE: GOOD CONCEPTS/FAILED IN TRANSLATION
22 April 2019
Denis was under a lot of pressure, dealing with her own family matters during the film's production, but many highly criticized this film. In some regards, this film deals with isolation and death within in its jarring storytelling.

Casting could have been off and why it brought criticism. I feel though many viewers may get turn off due of the nudity and suggested sexual violence. I mean it's not 2001: A Space Odessy but it doesn't need to be. Denis was working with interesting topics from reproductive technologies to life imprisonment.

What was some reveals such the what the main reasons for placing these space coaches, and what's up with the abandoned dogs? Visually there was some erotica and obviously body fluids was a theme being explored conceptually.

Imagery of a black hole was done in a provocative manner. Denis in a recent interview stated that this film explores "sexuality" and not sex.
