Dante 01

Dante 01 (2008) is a French science-fiction film you can watch online on iFILM. Out at the edge of the galaxy floats a high-security prison and psychiatric research station holding the most dangerous men alive. A new inmate is delivered aboard, and the moment he arrives, things on the ship stop making sense.

Saint-Georges is the only survivor of a brush with an alien force, and that force now lives inside him. He barely speaks, yet the thing locked in his body starts spreading through Dante 01 — infecting prisoners and guards alike and pushing the whole station toward a savage revolt. This was the solo directing debut of Marc Caro, co-creator of Delicatessen and The City of Lost Children, and his grimy, industrial eye shows in every corridor. Lambert Wilson and Dominique Pinon lead the cast. Slow, oppressive and almost religious in tone across a tight 82 minutes — for viewers who want dense European sci-fi rather than a ride.
