Tonight's viewing: a revisit to Ben Wheatley's fabulously fun, 70s-set, deal-gone-wrong flick, Free Fire

JG Ballard's High-Rise was published in 1970s. This was the time of London Garbage Strike, the rise of punk movement, the rise of Thatcher and conservatism & the Winter of Discontent. In this parable, he saw our materialistic society contained in a 40 story concrete high-rise building- a complete biosphere where class system is vertically appointed. He painted an ugly, disturbing picture of how quickly this microcosm of our society devolves into anarchy with greed & desire for power. With that, Ben Wheatley takes on this darkly satirical material and wastes no time in plunging it into total chaos. The material is highly relevant to the late stages of capitalistic society we are living in. High-Rise's pacing is so breathless that if you haven't read the book, you might find yourself being lost quickly. Why do they devolve so quickly into chaos? What's the reason for all the resentment? Wheatley & Amy Jump explain too much and too little. #benwheatley #tomhiddleston #highrise #lukeevans
