Though not always coherent, Infinity Pool (2023) still delivers an unsettlingly surrealist vision, dissecting, in perverse Cronenbergian style, the societal defects of debaucherous excess.
On the surface, Brandon Chrononberg's Infinity Pool (2023) carries the false facade of a predictable premise. But as the plot curdles, the film's multilayered mystery deepens, delivering hypnotic visuals and palpable degrees of suspense sure to distress the psyche.
Once again, Mia Goth shines in her increasingly unhinged role, playing the part of a psychotic, Machiavellian misfit in a surprisingly explosive turn, sure to please fans and thrill-seekers alike.
With some artfully orchestrated dream sequences, jarring cinematography, and an absurdist assemblage of horror imagery somewhat reflective of Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut mixed with The Wickerman, Infinity Pool offers an intoxicating treat for the senses.
At times, it can be difficult to keep track of the convoluted story pulsing at its core as you follow the many kaleidoscopic undulations. But for those seeking a slice of surrealist escapism and slow-burning suspense, Infinity Pool (2023) has plenty to offer.
