Yvonne Salmon hosts Q&A with ‘High Rise’ Producer Jeremy Thomas

Posted on 11 March 201621 March 2016 by english

Yvonne Salmon FRSA FRGS FRAI hosts a Q&A with renowned producer Jeremy Thomas after a showing of the new film adaptation of J. G. Ballard’s novel High Rise at the Cambridge Arts Picturehouse, 6pm on Saturday 12th March.

G. Ballard’s dystopian novel about society disintegrating within a giant tower block is brought to the screen by the maverick writer-director partnership of Amy Jump and Ben Wheatley (Kill List, Sightseers). Dr Robert Laing (Tom Hiddleston), an affluent new tenant of the titular high-rise, quickly attracts the attentions of neighbour Charlotte (Sienna Miller) and then of Helen (Elisabeth Moss), who happens to be married to the socially stratified community’s resident troublemaker (Luke Evans). As tensions build, the brutalist tower that its architect (a supremely laconic Irons) imagined would be “a crucible for change” gradually descends into anarchy in this new adaptation.
