Trivia
'High' and 'Life'
'High' stands for outer space and 'Life' for the life Juliette Binoches character wants to create. But it's above all a word that comes from Africa where she grew up and spent her childhood: Africans often refer to white life as 'high life'.
Language
It's the first film of Claire Denis in english, because according to her, she couldn't imagine someone in space talking in another language different to english or russian.
Philip Seymour Hoffman
Claire Denis had in mind this project since 2002, but due to economic problems she couldn't do it. In her mind, Philip Seymour Hoffman was the perfect actor for the character later to be played by Robert Pattinson. He heard about the project and was very interested in it. Although she was certain he was too young for the role of Monte, after meeting in person she understood that the paper was already his and no one else.
