High Rise, GFT, 18 – 31 March, 20

An elegant adaptation of JG Ballard’s classic novel.
Fri 18 – Thu 31 Mar
running time: 1h52m
It’s dog-eat-dog (and occasionally man-eat-dog) in this brutal, elegant examination of class warfare. Tom Hiddleston leads a stellar cast as the newest resident of a spiffy London tower block, where the occupants are spiralling into decadence and savagery as societal norms break down, and architect Jeremy Irons oversees the debauchery from his penthouse garden. Director Ben Wheatley and writer Amy Jump (Kill List, A Field in England) take the biting satirical edge of J G Ballard’s dystopian novel, still as sharp now as ever, and paint it across a gorgeous cinematic canvas.
