Cast and Crew of Vivarium

Vivarium

Vivarium is a psychological thriller that follows a young couple searching for their perfect starter home, only to become trapped in a mysterious suburban labyrinth of identical houses. As they attempt to escape, they are forced to raise a strange and otherworldly child, leading to a haunting exploration of confinement and human nature.

Trivia:
1. The film was shot in a remarkably minimalistic style with a limited budget, which contributed to the eerie and surreal atmosphere reflective of suburban monotony.
2. The set location for the housing development was an actual, incomplete housing project, lending authenticity and a disturbing realism to the maze-like neighborhood.
3. The lead actors, Imogen Poots and Jesse Eisenberg, underwent extensive rehearsals together to build the intense and unsettling chemistry necessary for portraying the couple's psychological descent.
