High-Rise (2015) Blu-ray (15) with Limited Edition Art Cards and original cardboard sleave

Ben Wheatley’s High-Rise is a darkly satirical adaption of J.G. Ballard’s 1975 novel. Set in a vast, self-contained tower block on the outskirts of 1970’s London, the film follows Dr. Robert Laing (Tom Hiddleston) as the building’s carefully ordered social hierarchy begins to collapse.

As the residents become increasingly divided by class and status, the tower descends into escalating disorder and violence. Featuring a star-studded cast including Jeremy Irons, Sienna Miller, Luke Evans and Elisabeth Moss, High-Rise combines dystopian science fiction, dark humour and social satire in a distinctly unsettling vision of modern society.
