If Ben Wheatley, who directed \u201cHigh-Rise\u201d and Amy Jump who wrote it were required to select a different title for the movie, it could be \u201cLord of the Rise.\u201d\u00a0 Remember William Golding\u2019s blockbuster novel \u201cLord of the Flies\u201d made into a film by Harry Hook sixteen years ago?\u00a0 In that story a group of 12-year-olds, stranded on an island without the presence of adults, degenerate into a bunch of feral monsters.\u00a0 But think again about \u201cwithout the presence of adults.\u201d Would adults even made a difference?\u00a0 Not so according to Wheatley and Jump\u2019s \u201cHigh-Rise,\u201d based on J.G. Ballard\u2019s 1975 novel.\u00a0 In the titled high rise apartment dwelling some time in the future.\u00a0 The future is looked at from the point of view of 1975 as symbolized by the old fashioned TV screen. The adults themselves are symbolically and allegorically locked into their luxury apartment house. When a series of incidents occur, principally a power shortage that wipes out the lighting and elevator, the so-called adults turn on one another, but not until after they party party and party with sex as ubiquitous as the glasses of champagne. Why can\u2019t they avoid the fighting by leaving?\u00a0 Remember this is an allegory not unlike Luis Bu\u00f1uel\u2019s surreal masterwork \u201cThe Exterminating Angel,\u201d in which the rich, unable to leave a party, lose the thin veneer of civilization.<\/p>\n

In \u201cHigh-Rise,\u201d adults live in a futuristic, albeit col, luxury building, the real society folks on the top floors and pay obeisance to Anthony Royal (Jeremy Irons), the architect who designed the building.\u00a0 The lesser people live on either the middle floors of the bottom, a construction that will pave the way for both class warfare and a general breakdown of all civilized rule.<\/p>\n

The high rise has everything you\u2019d want: pools, a wide, well-lit supermarket, cool elevators that prefer to stay at the penthouse.\u00a0 Depending on these technological conveniences, the groups cannot put up with the massive power failure.\u00a0 The people in the building turn to the primal urges, though those start near the story\u2019s beginning when party girl Charlotte Melville( Sienna Miller) drops a drinking class to the terrace one floor below where it startles the sun-bathing Dr. Robert Liang (Tom Hiddleston).\u00a0 Shut out from the outside, people remain indoors, hunger sets in, and the trapped folks gleefully give in to the urges with free sex and the preferred interests of people, all-out violence.\u00a0 Strangers are done away with, and even the good doctor, who smokes and drinks like someone in \u201cMad Men\u201d or in the 1940s when cigarette companies assured all that tobacco was safe, abandons his patients.<\/p>\n

All this sounds like a good dystopian drama, all based on a child\u2019s view inside a kaleidoscope, which he calls a view of the future.\u00a0 We\u2019ve seen the theme before, a Hobbesian analysis of bellum omnium contra omnes, or \u201cwar of all against all.\u201d<\/p>\n

As you watch you may recall the section of Robert Louis Stevenson\u2019s \u201cPulvis et umbra,\u201d in which he declares: What a monstrous spectre is this man, the disease of the agglutinated dust, lifting alternate feet or lying drugged with slumber; killing, feeding, growing, bringing forth small copies of himself; grown upon with hair like grass, fitted with eyes that move and glitter in his face; a thing to set children screaming.<\/p>\n

Nonetheless, while the two obvious thematic elements are clear: a) humankind reverts to a state of barbaric nature; b) class warfare breaks out with contenders siding with their own kinds, \u201cHigh-Rise\u201d is simply unrestricted mayhem without\u00a0 focus.\u00a0 Praise is due for production design, with a particularly interesting baroque-style party going on in the penthouse and rows of cars seemingly from the seventies lining the lot outside.\u00a0 But sex scenes, total warfare, jump shots depicting anarchy, do not in themselves make for an interesting movie. We\u2019re left with just a muddle, a disappointment considering that the director, Ben Wheatley, was so successful with \u201cKill List,\u201d about a hit man assigned to kill three people but lucks out.<\/p>\n

\u201cHigh-Rise\u201d was filmed entirely in Northern Ireland.<\/p>\n
