The Watchlist<\/em><\/p>\n

High-Rise\u00a0<\/em>is an adaptation of J.G. Ballard\u2019s novel of the same name, directed by Ben Wheatley (A Field in England\u00a0<\/em>). The film had its World Premiere at TIFF last year and stars\u00a0Tom Hiddleston,\u00a0Jeremy Irons,\u00a0Sienna Miller,\u00a0Luke Evans,\u00a0Elisabeth Moss,\u00a0James Purefoy, and\u00a0Keeley Hawes.<\/p>\n

HIGH-RISE stars Hiddleston as Dr. Robert Laing, the newest resident of a luxurious apartment in a high-tech concrete skyscraper whose lofty location places him amongst the upper class. Laing quickly settles into high society life and meets the building\u2019s eccentric tenants: Charlotte (Miller), his upstairs neighbor and bohemian single mother; Wilder (Evans), a charismatic documentarian who lives with his pregnant wife Helen (Moss); and Mr. Royal (Irons), the enigmatic architect who designed the building. Life seems like paradise to the solitude-seeking Laing. But as power outages become more frequent and building flaws emerge, particularly on the lower floors, the regimented social strata begins to crumble and the building becomes a battlefield in a literal class war.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Screenwriter Amy Pond could really relate to the film\u2019s source material saying \u201cI recall nothing but anxiety when I think about growing up in London during the late 70\u2019s.\u00a0I watched the grown-ups have their messy fun and wondered where is would all end. There are people with a greater understanding of Ballard\u2019s philosophical and formalistic intentions but I know what it\u2019s like to get lost in that building. Some of the echoes that reverberate through the defunct heating ducts of the film are mine but the High-Rise was of course built by Mr. J.G Ballard.\u201d<\/p>\n

High-Rise\u00a0<\/em>is rated 18A.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
