Jenni Sheppard \/ Vancity Buzz<\/em><\/p>\n

British film director Ben Wheatley is in Vancouver, to give movie buffs a preview screening of his latest feature film High-Rise \u2013 plus an exclusive masterclass and Q&A.<\/p>\n

A dystopic tale of city living, High-Rise stars Tom Hiddleston as Robert Laing, a young doctor who moves into a London skyscraper.<\/p>\n

But it\u2019s a high-rise with a twist: the super-rich enjoy decadence at the top, while the poor are forced to live at the bottom. As Laing is seduced by the insularity and glamour of his neighbours, chaos ensues \u2013 and the high-rise descends into anarchy.<\/p>\n

The preview screening \u2013 several weeks ahead of the movie\u2019s official Canadian release date of May 20 \u2013 is at 11 p.m. this Friday, April 15 at VIFF Vancity Theatre.<\/p>\n

Wheatley, who also directed the brutal Kill List and black comedy Sightseers, will discuss the movie in the masterclass at VIFF at 2:30 p.m. on Saturday, April 16.<\/p>\n

Individual tickets to the screening or masterclass are $15, or buy both together for $25.<\/p>\n
