Claire Denis is one of a handful of filmmakers who can credibly claim to be the world’s finest working director. HIGH LIFE is her first feature in the English language.

Variety’s Guy Lodge named it ‘the best film of the year’; The Guardian called it a masterpiece, giving it 5 stars; Rolling Stone said it will ‘blow your mind’.

Starring Robert Pattinson, Juliette Binoche, André Benjamin and Mia Goth, High Life is set aboard a spacecraft piloted by death row prisoners on a decades-long suicide mission to harness the power of a black hole. As is always the case with Claire Denis, she masterfully creates moods and uncanny spells to build up a richly layered narrative. While High Life features some of the most unsettling passages Denis has ever filmed, it is perhaps also her film of greatest delicacy and tenderness.
