People like to go on holiday to exotic foreign locations. It's a thrill to see
things that are totally different to what they have around them at home. But
is it a good idea to go to a country where you don't understand the language?
The novelist James Foster goes on holiday to the country Li Tolqa to find
inspiration for his next book. He accidentally kills a man on the road when
he's driving at night. That can happen anywhere. But James is dragged into a
prison and forced to sign a statement in a language he doesn't understand.
From that point on his life spirals downwards.
James makes friends, but are they friends he can trust? They've all been on
the wrong side of the law in Li Tolqa, and they revel in it. They encourage
James to commit crimes with them. He's caught up in drug excesses and orgies.
The whole vacation turns into an erotic nightmare.
The film is directed by Brandon Cronenberg, the son of the legendary David
Cronenberg. I haven't seen his other films, but based on "Infinity Pool" he
seems to be following in his father's footsteps. It's the sort of twisted film
his father could have made. I hope to see his other films soon.
