Synopsis

The film manages its emotion with a certain distance, in a breach somewhere between Cronenberg and Lynch, but which belongs to Bonello alone. A breach that has become a dizzying realm of beauty. A place where desire will last forever.
Les Inrockuptibles
A mutant, sprawling work, Bertrand Bonello’s new film travels between eras and asks questions about love and the possible end of humanity. Hypnotic.
Marie Claire
From the voluptuousness of the 1910s to the emptiness of a dystopian future, Bertrand Bonello has created a meandering sci-fi film about the retention of desire, starring Léa Seydoux, who is convinced that a mysterious catastrophe is coming.
