Deep space, at the edge of the galaxy. The future. A new prisoner arrives on top security prison ship and psychiatric research unit Dante 01. Sole survivor of an encounter with an alien force, Saint-Georges is a man possessed by inner demons, caught up in the battle to control the monstrous power within him. It's a power that will infect the other highly dangerous occupants of Dante 01, gaolors and prisoners alike, unleashing a violent rebellion that turns this terrifying, labyrinthine world upside down. In the otherworldly hell of the ship's depths, through danger and redemption, each must journey to his very limits... each must confront his own Dragon.
Marc Caro's 2008 science fiction film unfolds aboard a remote maximum-security prison ship doubling as a psychiatric research unit at the galaxy's edge. The arrival of a haunted new prisoner, the lone survivor of an alien encounter, unleashes a strange and dangerous power that spreads among guards and inmates alike, igniting rebellion. Atmospheric and allegorical, the film favors mood, claustrophobia, and inner torment over action, framing its labyrinthine setting as a stage for redemption and self-confrontation. Its tone is bleak and dreamlike. It suits viewers who appreciate cerebral, visually distinctive sci-fi and dark, metaphor-laden space stories. MagicMovieScore: 4.9.
