Aw man (squints at credits) they didn't use their usual composer, they have Clint mansell on this. That's disappointing.

Bummer

I saw Ben the other day going into a comic store in Brighton, wanted to say hi but nerd-mobbing film guys that's not me

Liked this, especially the scenes that faded into each other.

this was kind of extremely tedious tbh

film fan mate of mine said it was 'fucking awful'

smdh

all of you go and join xyawnzzzz in the pure cinema corner

Watched A Field in England not long ago. My wife fell asleep at some point and woke up maybe 25 minutes later and after trying to follow it said, "I'll have to watch this again, I have no idea what's going on." I assured her that staying awake would make no difference. We both enjoyed the film, but it was one of the most disorienting movies I've ever seen. Every time I thought I had a handle on it, it slipped away.

same. liked the overall vibe and look, and the film as a whole has stuck with me, but I spent most of it totally perplexed as to what was supposed to be happening. In retrospect, I suppose it achieves the 'dream logic' thing really well, as that's exactly how I feel about it - like a dream I had a few nights ago about which I only remember a few things.

Relax Louie. The new Stone Roses album will be here soon.

not much High Rise chat ITT. saw it the other day. people who've read the book said they were disappointed. I, on the other hand, haven't read the book and bloody loved it. I especially liked the set. a hyper-stylised 70s (denimpunk?). some found it tonally inconsistent but I thought the macabre humour worked well a lot of the time.

there was a lot of High Rise talk here ben wheatley - kill list

I'm another not read/loved. Can we find a read/loved?

I'm sure if we look hard enough we can find a not seen/hates

read/not loved

it ends with a fucking fall song

more reasons to not see/hate

hi

tension line step down

Thought there was a Portishead cover of SOS but didn't make soundtrack.

Oh there definitely was that

Sorry I meant there released soundtrack.

I hated Sightseers and was barely whelmed by A Field in England, which was a movie I actually wanted to love - because of it's themes and it looked stylistically interesting. It can't be that controversial an opinion to say that you haven't got much enthusiasm for High Rise, if you thought that their previous stuff was overrated hack shit. Oh and Tim Hiddlestone ffs.

Hiddleston was one of the celebrities, including Benedict Cumberbatch, Jo Brand, E. L. James and Rachel Riley, to design and sign his own card for the UK-based charity Thomas Coram Foundation for Children. The campaign was launched by crafting company Stampin' Up! UK and the cards were auctioned off on eBay during May 2014.[50]

Hiddleston is also a supporter of the humanitarian and developmental assistance fund group UNICEF. He travelled to Guinea in early 2013 to help women and children and raise awareness about hunger and malnutrition.[51]

Hiddleston is a self-described feminist.[52]

<3

Oh no, death by unusual details in Wikipedia articles.

Is tom hiddleston the dude who plays laing? I don't think I've seen him in anything before.

I only saw him in Deep Blue Sea but barely aware of this fuck as I was too busy looking at Rachel Weisz (whom I was barely aware of as she has been in awful shit for most of her life)

Will see Archipelago at some point.

btw self-describing as a feminist is not unusual at all - its like a disease, or a 'good career move'.

I like Tom Hiddleston. He is a bit lost in this mess but that's understandable.

v sad to see august old-ilx personality 'xyzzzz' regressing to such wanton old-ilx trolling

Huddleston is a very passable Loki dunno would I rush to see him anywhere else but this assault on weisz on yet another thread cannot be bourne

Lol autocorrect THIDD

I'm not a Hiddlestan but he's good in this

Feel like there's a bunch of interchangeable rated/hated glassy Brit dudes who would all be fine as laiing

it ends with a fucking fall song

Also includes songs by Can and Cat Stevens on the s/t, which makes for an instructive comparison with Skolimowski's Deep End - another film that (so much more skillfully) manoeuvres between high farce and nihilistic tragedy.

idly rewatched a chunk of Field in England last night, man having the subtitles turned on is a real help in some parts lol

it ends with a fucking fall song

please please tell me it's English Scheme

It's "Industrial Estate"

Eh close enough

Saw High Rise last night and it was... not terrible but not great eitehr... looked and sounded excellent overall, fine acting pretty much throughout, excellent Mansell soundtrack with a creepy cover of SOS by Portishead... definitely a better film than Crash, but I'm beginning to think Ballard's stuff is maybe not well suited for cinematic adaptation. Without his expositions behind them the transitions in the film seemed to strike most of the audience I watched with as a little preposterous and jarring and the final bit with the Thatcher speech was too on the nose. I didn't hate it, but it felt like a miss and honestly I'm not sure how it could have been made better.

Where did you see this?

Castro SFIFF.

after reading some underwhelming reviews I was actually pleasantly surprised by High Rise

Alex's opinions are pretty otm

if you found the right location you could shoot Concrete Island for cheap!

yeah.. i'm not sure it's 'unfilmable', but it would be like a play with a lot of traffic noise

agreed
