Synopsis

Class struggle becomes all too real as a young doctor moves into a modern apartment block in suburban 1975 London. Drugs, drink & debauchery dissolve into murder, mayhem and misogyny in this pseudo-post-apocalyptic breakdown of societal norms.

Editorial

Why Eltorama recommends this film

A vertical Brutalist tower where the rich live up top, the poor at the bottom, and the building gradually decides it prefers to eat them all. Ballard’s 1975 novel finally became a film, and the architecture wins.
