Description
Cast: Robert Pattinson, Juliette Binoche, André Benjamin
Light years from Earth, a spaceship drifts towards a black hole. Onboard are a father and daughter, the last survivors of a doomed mission. The mysterious fate of the rest of the crew—a group of death row inmates under the care of a witchy doctor (Binoche)—is revealed through a web of flashbacks. A 21st century companion to deep space head trips like 2001 and Solaris, Denis’s long-awaited sci-fi freakout is visually astonishing.
