Science-fiction by Claire Denis.
Young criminals sentenced to death participate in a space mission under the direction of a scientist who hides from them a great deal about the experiences she leads. The tensions rise, the meeting of these troubled beings not helping the serenity of the spirits in a too confined space.
For her first film in English, Claire Denis does not give in to her ambitions, aiming at the metaphysical and philosophical strangeness of Andrei Tarkovsky's "Solaris". The existential dimension works initially when Robert Pattinson is discovered alone with a baby in this unexpected setting. The first part focused on the actor of "Twilight" shows a puzzling and fascinating strangeness enriched by the impression of discovering a personal representation of space. The scenes of exits in the void have a curious look but this singularity captures the attention.
The flashbacks that landed fleetingly first, more frontally then, are unfortunately a little too narrative when the subject claimed mystery. The rest of the crew, including Juliette Binoche and André Benjamin (outkast group), is too rich to exist fully.
