Film director, Brandon Cronenberg, joined me on the show to discuss his latest science fiction/horror film, ‘Infinity Pool’, starring Alex Skarsgard, Mia Goth and Cleopatra Coleman.

Topics discussed include:

The themes of self-control and self-identity and their variations found in Brandon’s previous movie, ‘Possessor’ and ‘Infinity Pool’.

What types of people are drawn to dangerous and exotic locations.

The demarcation between those that commit transgressions and are remorseful, and those that aren’t.

Subverting/trivialising punishment - when punishment without true or lasting repercussions becomes tokenistic and what can arise from that both within the offender and for the society they inhabit.

Strength and cowardice - what constitutes both - what both are seen as by characters in ‘Infinity Pool’.

And so much more!

Big thanks to Brandon for chatting with me on the show. ‘INFINITY POOL’ is in cinemas May 11 - go and see it!
