High-Rise (2015)
Directed by Ben
Wheatley this film based on the novel of the same name stars Tom
Hiddlestone, Jeremy Irons, Seinna Miller, Luke Evans and Elisabeth
Moss. In the 1970s a doctor moves into a high tech tower block in
London.
Equal parts brilliant
and bizarre this film is a great social commentary which is as
relevant today as it was when it's source material came out in 1975.
The plot shows the break down of a society of excess as they turn
inwards and against each other. There is plenty of dark comedy and as
with any great British film an obsession with class. I loved the
direction which perfectly fits the narrative and offers some great
cinematic moments given the budget the film was made on.
5/5
