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
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.
