What happens

Divinity is a 2023 American science fiction film written and directed by Eddie Alcazar in his directorial debut, and starring Stephen Dorff, Moises Arias, Jason Genao, Karrueche Tran, Michael O'Hearn, Emily Willis, Scott Bakula, and Bella Thorne. Steven Soderbergh announced the film in September 2021, joining as an executive producer. The film began production in the same month and continued till late-2022 as a course of a seven-phase shooting schedule with intermittent breaks, instead of a traditional film production process. Much of the filming emphasized use on film stocks and shot entirely in black-and-white reversal formats, rarely used in mainstream filmmaking. The film had its premiere at Sundance Film Festival on January 21, 2023, and was released theatrically in the United States on October 14, 2023. It received generally positive reviews for Alcazar's direction, screenplay and the science fiction elements, but criticized for the grotesque nature. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
