Review: “Infinity Pool” stretches its R-rating in terms of sexual content and bloody deeds. But this is confident, considered, mind-bending filmmaking.
Mia Goth, left, and Alexander Skarsgård in a scene from"Infinity Pool."
Be warned: This is no middle-of-the-road picnic. Like his father, David Cronenberg , the younger Cronenberg as writer-director bores in on all sorts of grisliness and body horror, though never settling for kicks, or ultraviolence for the sake of cheap, sadistic fun.
There’s a twist, also in the trailer and a fairly early development in the narrative. It’s a lulu: Somehow La Tolqa has perfected the art of body “doubling,” in which an exact replica of a human being, complete with their memories, can be manufactured for a fee, thereby letting the real human go free while the double takes the rap. It sounds deeply far-fetched, and it is. And Cronenberg finesses it sincerely and straightforwardly enough, especially in the inspired first half, to make it work.
