This is a baroque and unsettling film, set in a world where art becomes power, and talent turns into religion. The story revolves around a mysterious figure—possibly a genius, possibly a manipulator—who leads a select group of individuals through what feels like a creative ritual. The setting is theatrical, oppressive, and dripping with symbolism. Neon lights and stage smoke evoke an atmosphere halfway between a cult and an apocalyptic... Read More |

Ballard, High-Rise is a disturbing descent into urban anarchy and human madness, disguised as architectural progress.
