High Life is a 2018 science fiction horror film directed by Claire Denis, in English, written by Denis and her long-time collaborator Jean-Pol Fargeau. Starring Robert Pattinson and Juliette Binoche, it focuses on a group of criminals sent on a space mission toward a black hole while taking part in scientific experiments.

Physicist and black hole expert Aurélien Barrau was hired as a consultant, and Danish-Icelandic artist Olafur Eliasson designed the film's spacecraft.[3] High Life premiered on 9 September 2018 at the Toronto International Film Festival.[5][6]
