HIGH-RISE

New Ben Wheatley is enough to be excited about. A new J.G. Ballard adaptation to boot.

Is the book good?

It’s one of his I missed out on so far, I don’t think I even own it.

Brazil-ish vibe from those clips, appropriately enough I suppose

I enjoyed the heck out of the book, so sure, I will watch this.

Is the book good? Here is its opening sentence:

“Later, as he sat on his balcony eating the dog, Dr Robert Laing
reflected on the unusual events that had taken place within this huge
apartment building during the previous three months.”

The book is great.

Adding a horse was a good call

Class warfare movie. My favorite kind of movie.

Will Orange and Teal ever be over?

Whoa, this movie looks good. Reminds me of Snowpiercer!

Wonder when/if it’ll get a release in the US.

I really hope this is better than Snowpiercer

I saw this.

It makes sense to turn a Ballard book into a comedy, really.

When is this coming here

I should probably mention there’s a lot of dancing in this one. I approve.
