The couple were also joined at the photo call by the film’s director, Brandon Croenenberg, and actor Jalil Lespert.

The film follows writer James Foster (Skarsgard) and Em Foster (Cleopatra Coleman), a couple enjoying an all-inclusive beach vacation on the fictional island of La Tolqa, when a fatal accident exposes the resort’s perverse subculture. hedonistic tourism, violence and surrealism. horrors

In one of the film’s most shocking scenes, Mia, who plays the free-spirited tourist and actress Gabi, performs a sexual act in Alexander’s Foster, with the writer ejaculating and displaying his manhood on screen.

Other gory scenes show an Alexander clone being disemboweled and orgies, with the R-rated film called ‘The White Lotus, but for the sick’ premiering at the Sundance Film Festival.

Alexander himself said of the role: “Fighting a naked version of myself to the death and then being suckled by Mia…that’s not something you get to do very often as an actor.”

IndieWire reviewer Ryan Lattanzio praised the “terribly unhinged” performances from the leads, but said that “everything feels bloodless, cold and sticky as a speculum.”

“Despite the accumulation of blood, guts, holes, and d**ks in a hallucinogenic montage that pierces the strangely sleepy atmosphere of Infinity Pool, the movie is never quite as gruesome as it seems to confidently believe it to be.”

“There’s a psychedelic orgy montage laced with all sorts of body parts, James and Gabi going crazy on some kind of religious drug and beating each other up on ecstasy, which feels very similar to Possessor, where Andrea Riseborough suddenly had a penis.

“This is probably one of the times where Infinity Pool originally got its justifiable NC-17 rating.”

On October 19, Bloody Disgusting reported that Infinity Pool was edited from an NC-17 film to a hard R-rated film.

Cronenberg is the son of iconic body horror director David Cronenberg, known for classic films like The Fly and The Dead Zone.

Infinity Pool: What the critics are saying

Pouloumi Das, The playlist

“One of the film’s undeniable highlights is Cronenberg’s singular vision: he excels at making bloodshed look beautiful, breathlessly blending the haunting and the beautiful to construct unforgettable mind-bending sequences (working in tandem with his collaborator usual).”

Ryan Lattanzio, Indie Wire

“Stars Alexander Skarsgärd and Mia Goth give terrifyingly deranged performances as a failed novelist and a mysterious tour guide, and Cronenberg has no shortage of original ideas, but it all feels bloodless, cold and sticky as a mirror.”

Meagan Navarro, Damn Disgusting

“It’s not just the shocking escalation or Cronenberg’s approach that keeps Infinity Pool so compelling and occasionally repulsive, but the committed performances of Skarsgård and Goth. The increasingly complex layers added to James and Gabi reveal that there’s so much more to Infinity Pool than simply the rich eating the rich.

Ross Bonaime, Collider

“As hallucinogenic substances are introduced into the story, Cronenberg creates terrifying yet seductive images that combine extreme sexual imagery, bewildering horror elements, and a complete unawareness of what the hell is going on.”

Nick Schager, The Daily Beast

“Accepting the challenge to match the wildness of his previous Possessor, Brandon Cronenberg writhes into a more psychosexual body-terror rape, mutation, mutilation and hysteria with Infinity Pool, a film so extreme that the only reasonable response is often laughter.

Damon Wise, Deadline

‘Cronenberg is now betting on the cinema of nightmares, with a film that gets under the skin and stings, invades the brain and wreaks havoc on the synapses.’

Peter Debruge – Variety

“In many ways, Infinity Pool is right on target (transgressive shots of boners coming out of vagina-like orifices, for example, or someone breastfeeding Alexander Skarsgård). And yet Dark Brandon seems to have gone crazy this time, which is precisely where a certain contingent of horror fans want it.
