“The sensation of moving backwards… even though we’re moving forwards…getting further from what’s nearer.”

That’s Robert Pattinson’s Monte in the disturbing and mind-bending trailer for director Claire Denis’ upcoming science fiction film “High Life.”

The film features Juliette Binoche, a mad scientist specializing in bodily fluids, with Pattison Mia Goth, and André Benjamin.

They are a group of criminals condemned to life in an intergalactic space prison, lured into a mission to travel towards the black hole to search for alternative energy source, and which also involves human experimentation. That said, the film looks mysterious and intriguing and possibly better experienced with little knowledge of the plot.

This is the legendary French director’s first English language film, which reunites her with Juliette Binoche. The two worked together last year in the romantic comedy-drama “Let the Sunshine In.”

Denis wrote the film with Jean-Pol Fargeau and Geoff Cox. It had its world premiere last September at the 2018 Toronto International Film Festival.

“High Life” is currently scheduled for release in theaters on April 2019.
