Mia Goth wows in a white skin-tight dress at a photocall for horror film Infinity Pool in Berlin

Mia Goth and Alexander Skarsgard put on an animated display at the Infinity Pool photocall during the 73rd Berlin International Film Festival on Wednesday.

Infinity Pool has left critics aghast with its scenes of executions, orgies and full-frontal nudity in first reviews of the shocking horror film.

Mia, 29, showed off her incredible figure in a white skin-tight dress, teamed with a pair of black stilettos.

The Pearl star opted for a soft glam makeup look as she posed for snaps at the event which was held at the Grand Hyatt Hotel.

Meanwhile Alexander, 46, looked dapper in an all black ensemble which consisted of a blazer, t-shirt and trousers.

The pair were also joined at the photocall by the film’s director Brandon Croenenberg and actor Jalil Lespert.

The film follows writer James Foster (Skarsgard) and Em Foster (Cleopatra Coleman), a couple enjoying an all-inclusive beach vacation in the fictional island of La Tolqa, when a fatal accident exposes the resort’s perverse subculture of hedonistic tourism, violence and surreal horrors.

In one of the film’s most shocking scenes, MIa, who plays free-spirited tourist and actress Gabi, performs a sex act on Alexander’s Foster, with the writer ejaculating and his manhood fully shown on screen.

Other gory scenes show a clone of Alexander being disemboweled and orgies – with the R-rated film branded ‘The White Lotus – but for sickos’ upon its premiere at the Sundance Film Festival.

Alexander said himself of the role: ‘Fighting a naked version of myself to the death and then being breastfed by Mia … that’s not something you get to do very often as an actor.’

IndieWire critic Ryan Lattanzio praised the ‘terrifically unhinged’ performances of the leads but said ‘the whole thing feels bloodless, cold and clammy as a speculum.

‘Despite the pile-up of blood, guts, holes, and d**ks in a hallucinogenic montage that punctures Infinity Pool’s otherwise weirdly sleepy atmosphere, the film is never as appalling as it seems to confidently believe it is.

‘There’s a psychedelic orgy montage suffused with all manner of body parts, James and Gabi high out of their skulls on some kind of religious drug and pounding each other in ecstasy, that feels very similar to the one in Possessor where Andrea Riseborough suddenly had a penis.

‘This is likely one of the moments that originally got Infinity Pool its justifiable NC-17 rating.’

On October 19, Bloody Disgusting reported that Infinity Pool was edited from an NC-17 film to a hard R-rated film.

Cronenberg is the son of iconic body horror director David Cronenberg, known for classic films such as The Fly and The Dead Zone.

Mia, who is being highly praised for her performance in recent horror productions such as Pearl and X: The Mark of Death, is the granddaughter of actress Maria Gladys.

She recently stated in an interview that her grandmother was her biggest inspiration. She said: ‘My grandma, my Brazilian grandmother, who is also an actress in Brazil.

‘She has an incredible life, has gone through a lot and has always encouraged me to expand my universe to the fullest. I think she is incredible’.

Infinity Pool was released in cinemas worldwide on January 27, 2023.

Infinity Pool: What the critics said

Pouloumi Das, The Playlist

‘One of the film’s undeniable highlights is Cronenberg’s singular vision: he excels at making bloodshed look like a thing of beauty, breathlessly blending the disturbing and the gorgeous to construct unforgettable hallucinatory sequences (working in tandem with his regular collaborator).’

Ryan Lattanzio, IndieWire

‘Stars Alexander Skarsgärd and Mia Goth deliver terrifically unhinged performances as a failing novelist and a mysterious tour guide, and Cronenberg has absolutely no shortage of original ideas, but the whole thing feels bloodless, cold and clammy as a speculum.’

Meagan Navarro, Bloody Disgusting

‘It’s not just the shocking escalation or Cronenberg’s approach that keeps Infinity Pool so engaging and occasionally repulsive, but the committed performances by Skarsgård and Goth. The increasingly complex layers added to James and Gabi reveal there’s far more to Infinity Pool than simply the rich eating the rich.’

Ross Bonaime, Collider

‘As hallucinogenic substances are brought into the story, Cronenberg creates terrifying yet seductive imagery that combines extreme sexual imagery, disconcerting horror elements, and just a complete unawareness of what the hell is going on.’

Nick Schager, The Daily Beast

‘Rising to the challenge of equaling the bats**t wildness of his prior Possessor, Brandon Cronenberg writhes around in more psychosexual body-horror violation, mutation, mutilation, and hysteria with Infinity Pool, a film so extreme that the only reasonable response is often laughter.’

Damon Wise, Deadline

‘Cronenberg is now going all-in for the cinema of nightmares, with a film that gets under the skin and itches, invades the brain and plays havoc with the synapses.’

Peter Debruge – Variety

‘In so many ways, Infinity Pool is right on brand (transgressive shots of erections erupting out of vagina-like orifices, say, or someone breast-feeding Alexander Skarsgård). And yet, Dark Brandon seems to have gone off the deep end this time — which is precisely where a certain contingent of horror fans want him.’
