High-Rise

Life for the residents of a tower block begins to run out of control.

Details

In the movie High-Rise set in 1975 London, a young doctor named Robert Laing moves into a modern apartment block located in the suburbs. What seems to be an ideal living situation at first turns into a disturbing exploration of class struggles and the breakdown of societal norms. As the residents of the high-rise indulge in drugs, alcohol, and wild parties, the boundaries between order and chaos become blurred.

The film captures the escalating mayhem within the building, as tensions rise between the different social classes residing there. The once-utopian atmosphere of the high-rise soon gives way to violence and madness, leading to murder and misogyny.

High-Rise provides a thought-provoking commentary on the corrosive nature of modern society and the destructive power of class divisions. It delves into the depravity and power dynamics that emerge when people are enclosed within a confined space.

Directed by Ben Wheatley and based on J.G. Ballard's novel of the same name, the movie offers a visually stunning and unsettling portrayal of societal collapse. It explores themes of power, corruption, and the breakdown of social order through its engaging narrative and compelling performances.

High-Rise is a dark and gritty film that exposes the uglier side of human nature. It is a cautionary tale that reminds us of the fragility of civilization and the potential consequences of unbridled decadence.
