Has anyone seen High Rise?
I have and well, I get the whole concept of a dystopian reality, exaggerated hierarchism and all that, but it was just painful to watch.. i'm not talking about the violence and in-your-face misogyny but the incoherence of the plot, poor acting and trying too hard to be controversial. And what a waste of Jeremy Irons.. :/
thoughts anyone?

Margin Call was shite if you have any interest in finance -- insubstantial plot and frankly I'm not even sure a margin call occurred in the film.
High Rise I haven't checked yet, Wheatley is pretty brilliant as is the original book but I'm curious how the script turned out.Last edited by Arkady; 05-04-2016, 03:21 PM.

fair play, I admit my knowledge on finance is limited, it was more about seeing the bigger picture for me rather than going into financial technicalities with this film. Curious to find out what you thought about High Rise then ;)

Saw Tale of Tales the other night. Was similar to The VVitch. Very little dialogue, full of imagery based scenes, horror/comedic at the same time. Was composed of a few tales that switched from one to another that ultimately intertwined. Very happy to see the darker approach to fairy tales again.
Had quite a few Norse mythology/saga references in there as well, though much more subtle than LoTR, for example.
