🎥 Watched Infinity Pool.
We join a struggling author and his wealthy wife taking a break at a secluded luxury resort to answer the question: what if the punishment for committing crimes was harsh but it isn’t (exactly) you that has to pay the price for it - at least if you’re rich enough?
The “how” is extremely weird. And creepy. But a pretty gripping - and disturbing - exploration of privilege and morality.
It is of course not like the richer folk amongst us in the real world can’t or don’t buy their way out of the legal consequences of immorality that the rest of us might face. Maybe this film is the logical conclusion of that. I hope not.
Shades of the White Lotus, but messed up. Which is saying something.
