COSMOPOLIS

Cronenberg trades in body horror for capital decay in this glacial, hyper-intellectual adaptation of Don DeLillo’s postmodern novel—a claustrophobic odyssey through a collapsing financial empire and the psyche of its young billionaire anti-hero. Robert Pattinson, pre-The Lighthouse, post-Twilight, delivers a coolly mannered performance as Eric Packer, a tech-era phantom drifting through Manhattan in a stretch limo sealed off from the real world, hunting for a haircut as the city outside spirals into chaos. Cronenberg’s screenplay cleaves closely to DeLillo’s cerebral dialogue, resulting in a film of eerie stasis, dislocated affect, and prophetic dread. Shot almost entirely within the confines of the limousine, Cosmopolis plays like a fever dream of late capitalism—clinical, surreal, and haunted by obsolescence. With Juliette Binoche, Paul Giamatti, and Samantha Morton.
