Trailer de 'El Médico 2'

Plot

Monte and Willow are a father and a daughter who live in a spaceship outer the solar system. Monte is a tough and severe man who regrets having the child because it reminds the time when he was defeated by the desire above his discipline. However, Willow doesn't know that she was birth by insemination in a experiment with a prisoner called Boyse. In the beginning their relationship is not the best, but with the time Willow grows up, Mont changes his mind and will have a new feeling about her daughter. A feeling that will change him forever.

Director Claire Denis presented this film starring Robert Pattinson ('Good Time'), Juliette Binoche ('The english patient') and Mia Goth ('A cure for wellness') which won the FIPRESCI prize.

Trivia

'High' and 'Life'

'High' stands for outer space and 'Life' for the life Juliette Binoches character wants to create. But it's above all a word that comes from Africa where she grew up and spent her childhood: Africans often refer to white life as 'high life'.

Premiere at Toronto

The world premiere at Toronto Film Festival has caused multiple walkouts because of how graphically disturbing and provocative the film was. Despite the audience reaction, the film was well received by the critic.

Philip Seymour Hoffman

Claire Denis had in mind this project since 2002, but due to economic problems she couldn't do it. In her mind, Philip Seymour Hoffman was the perfect actor for the character later to be played by Robert Pattinson. He heard about the project and was very interested in it. Although she was certain he was too young for the role of Monte, after meeting in person she understood that the paper was already his and no one else.
