a review of 摩天大楼
High-Rise - Review
Watched this one before listening to the ENTER THE VOID podcast episode on the same. Although I enjoyed the hell out of some of Wheatley's other films (particularly A Field in England) I just haven't connected with his last couple (this and Free Fire) and I wonder if perhaps he's starting to get high on his own supply. I went in ready for a class-conscious fable a la Snowpiercer, and what I got was just sort of a tedious muddle with a passive protagonist in Hiddleston, and not much to latch onto otherwise.
