What critics compared Aniara to
Think Ben Wheatley’s adaptation of J.G. Ballard’s 1975 dystopian novel “High-Rise” (2016) and you’d have the right idea.
As it does in everything from J.G. Ballard’s “High-Rise” to Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Masque of Red Death,” social order breaks down.
From Danny Boyle’s Sunshine (2007) to China’s box office juggernaut The Wandering Earth (2018), this is a common sci-fi premise.
The premise of placing groups of people inside spaceships and seeing what happens to them under extreme circumstances has cropped up recently, and successfully, in the Swedish-Danish film Aniara and A24’s French-German production, High Life , both released in 2018.
