Check Out This High-Rise Kaleidoscope Poster
Ben Wheatley's High-Rise is set to hit UK screens March 18, but in advance of the film's release, we've got our hands on the movie's brand-new kaleidoscope poster.
High-Rise is an adaptation of the acclaimed J.G. Ballard novel, with the synopsis as follows...
1975. Two miles west of London, Dr. Robert Laing (Tom Hiddleston) moves into his new apartment seeking soulless anonymity, only to find that the building’s residents have no intention of leaving him alone. Resigned to the complex social dynamics unfolding around him, Laing bites the bullet and becomes neighbourly. As he struggles to establish his position, Laing’s good manners and sanity disintegrate along with the building. The lights go out and the lifts fail but the party goes on. People are the problem. Booze is the currency. Sex is the panacea. Only much later, as he sits on his balcony eating the architect’s dog, does Dr. Robert Laing finally feel at home.
