Unsettling, strange, and bold, HIGH LIFE is Claire Denis working in her own cinematic way. A thought-provoking film in the tradition of Marker in exploring ideas, memory, and morality through a distorted lens that looks into our soul.
About to see my most-anticipated film of the year, Claire Denis' strange sci-fi HIGH LIFE in the theatre. 🎥
Best new-to-me films for April 2019: Icelandic comedy BACK SOON, Danish animated short TORD AND TORD, poetic Chinese KAILI BLUES, and the stunning Russian THE ASCENT.
Watching the 1977 Russian film THE ASCENT directed by Larisa Shepitko on The Criterion Channel. 🎥
