Review of High-Rise (2015) by Jluis_001 — 06 Feb 2018
High-Rise is an adaptation of the novel by J.G. Ballard of the same name released in 1975. The novel was a social critic of the times, but it certainly applies in any situation today.
The problem with the film is that it starts well and settled its foundations in a good way however it does not take long for the incoherence to enter the narrative and everything becomes a showcase of violence and anarchy destroying in the last 40 minutes any type of sequence narrative.
I have no doubt that it could be said that the film will be for experimental tastes or those with interests for such chaotic creative visions, but personally High-Res is too disconnected and I do not like it at all.
Applause for the production designer who conceived an interesting world in small spaces of the building to recreate the necessary, I would not say that it's a minimalist style but aesthetics comes close to it.
The costume design also pleased me by giving an interesting seventies vibe to the actors, while Clint Mansell's score is not that spectacular but he always adds that extra to the scenes.
