Review of High Life (2018) by Mauro_Lanari — 23 Nov 2020
(Mauro Lanari).
"Into this world we're thrown / Like a dog without a bone" (The Doors, "Riders on the Storm", 1971). Being thrown into the black hole of existence: the most treated topic in history and emphasized by Claire Denis with a crass anthropocentrism, avoiding almost any trace of pietas and drawing on the maximum of rhetoric (rarefied rhythm, decadent atmospheres, deafening silences, a couple of brutal scenes, disjointed narration).
