Based on J.G. Ballard’s 1975 novel of the same name, High-Rise is a dark thriller set in an oppulent high-rise community isolated from the rest of society. After seeing the effects of rapid gentrification on a local level in our own backyard here in Venice and across the country lately, this type of story is super fascinating and timely. Even South Park had a similar (less artful) take on communities like this in their SoDoSoPa episode this season. Set for a release date of March 18, 2016, High-Rise appears timeless, ominous and provocative. I’m really looking forward to this one.
