Infinity Pool 4K 2023 Uncut

It looks like the body horror genre is going to thrive, as one of its maestros - David Cronenberg has nurtured a good replacement in the person of his son Brandon, who became the author of a new thriller with elements of horror and sci-fi - "Infinity Pool".

James and Em Foster are vacationing at the La Tolca resort. He is clearly bored here and basically bored with life, for being far from the most sought-after writer, he lives on his wife's money and generally can not worry about tomorrow. She is bored next to her spouse, who does not want to go anywhere at the resort and does not understand what he wants at all.

One day they meet the Bauer spouses - Gabi and Alban (Mia Goth and Jalil Lespere) and this meeting becomes fatal, because one night incident in the future puts an imprint on everything that will happen next.

The resort setting of "The Infinity Pool" is tinged with the romanticism of a bygone era - Cronenberg Jr. seems to recreate the atmosphere of the first half of the 20th century, drawing the viewer into a story reminiscent of those written by Agatha Christie, where at the resort among the vacationers there is always a person with dark thoughts and there is always a murder. In general, and the beginning of "The Pool" unambiguously makes it clear that something similar will happen here, which will fundamentally change the fate of the characters. And it certainly becomes clear that the heroine Mia Goth on the screen embodies the image of a femme fatale, guilty of all misfortunes ...

If we take away all the fantastic component of the picture and look at one of the last scenes, when the bus takes the hero to the airport, we can assume that with his movie Brandon Kronneberg realized the amazing transformation of a man, when he goes on vacation, as if he is born again.... Reincarnates into someone else - someone who people around him in ordinary life, do not even know.

Letting out all their hidden fantasies, such "tourists" let off steam, taking advantage of the unique opportunity for a couple of weeks of vacation to become completely different people. And it is quite possible that the manipulations with the human body shown in this picture are nothing but an allusion to the duplicity of man: in life we are alone, but when there is an opportunity, we let out our second personality, which serves as a complete opposite of the first one.

The rebirth here is clearly demonstrated not only by the very manipulations with the human body mentioned above, but also by a very intimate scene on the front lawn between Goth and Skarsgard's characters. By the way, the very idea of the birth of a new person is traced from the very beginning of the movie, when as the first stage of the birth of a new person, the male seed splashes, then between spermataziods-James Foster there is a struggle for the right to become the only "child" (the storyline of doppelgangers), and all this eventually flows into the feeding of an adult in the likeness of a baby.

In general terms, The Boundless Pool is a metaphorical movie in the same vein as Vivarium, which came out a couple years ago. You can evaluate it as an ornate horror movie with disgusting scenes and a pretension to eroticism, or you can try to find some hidden meaning that the director tried to put in. As far as I'm concerned, the second formulation is more appropriate....
