Alexander Skarsgård and Mia Goth Skip Merrily Into Privileged Hell in Brandon Cronenberg’s Utterly Deranged Masterpiece ‘Infinity Pool’
There’s quite a bit that will linger after a viewing of Infinity Pool, but the uppermost question will be just where exactly Brandon Cronenberg went to high school.
You might want to avoid the area, because once James Foster (Alexander Skarsgård) falls in with a wealthy group of ne’er do wells on his vacation in the fictional state of Li Tolqa, there’s a definite schoolyard vibe to this dark satire of the privileged revelries of tourists abroad who can count on no consequences for their actions. And who would know better than Cronenberg, whose keen perception of this world has the same penetrating gaze of Sofia Coppola, with a distinct vision all his own that is nevertheless laced with the influences of wealthy parentage.
