Robert Pattinson spent his post-Twilight years trying to wipe the slate clean and reinvent himself as a serious indie actor. We’ve just got another proof he’s succeeding thanks to the first trailer for inventive space drama High Life.
This intriguing project, directed by controversial French filmmaker Claire Denis, tells the tale of a group of criminals who are sent on an unusual mission in space. They believe their spaceship is headed towards a black hole to find an alternate energy source, but it turns out scientists on board have something different in mind.
High Life already had its world premiere during Toronto International Film Festival, where it received rave reviews. It was described as “a pensive and profound study of human life on the brink of the apocalypse” that completely reinvented sci-fi genre.
This mind-bending space odyssey also stars Juliette Binoche, Mia Goth and famous rapper André Benjamin. High Life will be orbiting film festival circuit until November 7, when it’s supposed to hit the theaters in France. American premiere is yet to be set.
