Is Vincent Gallo Trying to be Serge Gainsbourg?
6 April 2021
I've seen a couple of things where Vincent has cast himself as the guy that women can't seem to resist - but this is the first one I've seen where another director does it. And a woman, at that. I'm not a woman, so it could be that he's got something - like Serge - but really I can't see it. I'm also not sure he can really act.

However, in this weird film, he comes across quite well, I think. His style seems to match the general other-worldliness of the approach and the fact that he and his wife seem completely mismatched fits right in with the rest of the chaos.

I really enjoyed High Life and based on this also, Claire clearly has her own vision and way of doing things, which works well here, in my view. If you have any liking for body horror you'll go for this, I'm sure, as long as you are OK with the relatively gentle build-up and pacing.
