Frankly ambivalent about the ending, Brandon Cronenberg's Infinity Pool nevertheless plays with some interesting ideas, imagining a strange country with primitive laws, yet the capacity to create clones that can be punished instead of the wealthy tourists who come to their shores. The proxy is an ancient tradition afforded royals, here given a science fiction twist. And speaking of twists, you fully expect such a mind bender to play the "who's the real person and who's the proxy?" game, and the film does, but keeps an ambiguity going. After all, does it really matter if you're a morally degraded copy or the original morally degraded by the symbolic/actual cycle of death and renewal? In the end, it's still about the lack of consequences for the rich, and how the awareness of that kind of invulnerability inevitably leads to corruption. In the middle of all this is Mia Goth as a wild temptress, once again going for it 100% - I don't think there's anyone working right now better an unleashing such savage madness on the screen - and she's unsurprisingly the best thing about Infinity Pool. 1 year 2 months ago -
