(Ipswich Film Theatre)

(GB/Northern Ireland 2015)

An aspiring young doctor moves to the upper floors of a tower block where the social conditions soon degenerate into chaos.
The orgies of self-destruction and violence go on a bit too long, in what is still an interesting "retro-future" 70s sci-fi allegory based on the author's satire on modern consumerism, quite skilfully re-creating the 70s style, although perhaps not representative of that period, or of its future.

HIGH RISE. A poster with obvious allusions to Kubrick's Clockwork Orange,  which depicted the future as designed in the 70s, whereas this imagines the future in retro 70s style.
