Summary: Claire Denis (director/co-writer) and Robert Pattinson (actor) at The Landmark in West Los Angeles. Moderated by Justin Chang (Los Angeles Times). Film synopsis: High Life is a provocative, dazzling and eerily sexy science fiction drama from acclaimed French filmmaker Claire Denis (White Material, Trouble Every Day, Beau Travail), making her English-language debut. Monte (Robert Pattinson) and his baby daughter are the last survivors of a damned and dangerous mission to deep space. The crew—death-row inmates led by a doctor (Juliette Binoche) with sinister motives—has vanished. As the mystery of what happened onboard the ship is unraveled, father and daughter must rely on each other to survive as they hurtle toward the oblivion of a black hole. André Benjamin and Mia Goth also star.
