One of the most envelope-pushing movies to ever unspool at Sundance was injected like a drug into audiences’ eyes as Infinity Pool, the latest mind-warping outing from Brandon Cronenberg, hit the Midnight section Saturday night.
Neon is opening Pool in theaters Jan. 27 with an R-rating but the cut that screened at Sundance was Nc-17. There were no notable walkouts, so that meant the crowd fully ingested the cocktail that not only featured skull-crushing violence and rich people behaving badly with clones, but also doses of blood, sperm and other bodily secretions — real or imagined — coming in and out of various body parts.
“There’s a lot of conformity and monotony when you read scripts,” said star Alexander Skarsgard at the post-q&a with the cast and filmmaker. “You’ve just seen the movie. It’s just crazy, crazy.… Love it or hate it, but it’s rare to experience something like this as an actor.
