St. Pete Arthouse Cinema Club - "Infinity Pool" - 10 Feb 2023, 07:30 PM

SECOND MEETUP! Our first meeting was a huge success, was great to meet everyone. This next movie at Green Light comes with a warning for strong content – rated R for "graphic violence, disturbing material, strong sexual content, graphic nudity, drug use, and some language."

This film has been called "HARD-R" – originally rated NC17 when first submitted to the MPA. Discussions around a new MPA rating between R and NC17 are part of the larger context of this film. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/01/27/movies/infinity-pool-nc17-r-rating.html

Infinity Pool is the latest film from Brandon Cronenberg, son of body-horror pioneer David Cronenberg. Like his father, Brandon's films (Antiviral, 2012; Possessor, 2020) typically contain strong elements of horror and disturbing images/themes. Infinity Pool premiered at the 2023 Sundance Film Festival to positive critical response.

No pressure to join if this one isn't for you! Will see folks at the next Meetup.

Beers at Hops2.0 after the movie to discuss :)
