BEN WHEATLEY
UK, 2015, DCP, VO ST FR & NL OND, 112'
A young doctor moves into his new apartment in an enormous tower block, where the poor tenants stay on the lower floors, while the upper classes party it up on the top. Social lines begin to blur in a look at a microcosm of a world gone mad. Brit rebel Ben Wheatley takes on J.G. Ballard’s classic dystopic novel in a hyper-stylised pitch-black satire.
In the presence of director Ben Wheatley.
