High Life (2018) is a thought-provoking science fiction film that follows a group of criminals sent on a deep-space mission to extract energy from a black hole. Led by the stoic Monte, they embark on a journey into the unknown, isolated from Earth and civilization.

As the crew members succumb to their darker instincts, the psychological tension builds, with some turning to a mysterious scientific experiment involving artificial insemination and reproduction.

Monte, along with his infant daughter, survives alone in the ship after the mission goes awry, and he faces both external dangers from space and his inner turmoil.

The film explores themes of isolation, survival, and human nature, with stark imagery and a slow-burn narrative that blends existential dread with speculative science fiction. As Monte reflects on his past and his desperate situation, High Life delves into deep philosophical questions about life, death, and the human desire for meaning.
