THAT balcony scene from HIGH RISE starring Tom Hiddleston

I’m not quite sure why StudioCanal is posting High-Rise clips again, other than they’re distributing TLOC in the UK, and it’s also HR’s 10th anniversary this year, but I’ll take naked Laing (or filthy bearded Laing, or whichever Laing) anytime.

"It looks like the unconscious diagram of some psychic event."

The first time I watched it, I didn't know what the heck I watched but I really enjoyed the trip. After some re-watch I do get it, to an extend.

The High-Rise confines all the vices of human nature and society, and stacks them into differents layers of hell. It becomes a prison in which chaos and madness arise, bacause entropy has to liberate itself from these packed boxes, and because the difference between insanity and survival mechanism is institutional.

"and help others surrender to a logic more powerful than reason."

The film is about a wide range of things, and if you feel like you went mad watching people going mad, you are onto something.

I mean, isn't it something if the alleged psychiatrist ends up tied up and gagged in a pile of trash?

I could spend hours analyzing this movie and I would still miss the half of it. But I think the audience didn't do it justice. I saw some comments saying it was too messy, too "schizophrenic", as if we were in an asylum. Well I bet that was the whole point.

I have experience in the "madness" area. I know how it can feel like, how it can look like, how it can sound like. The High-Rise is a great metaphor. And no one is calling out someone else crazy. Because they all are. Only perhaps the one they want to lobotomise. "Possibly the sanest man in the building". Oh the irony.

Madness isn't necessarily what you think it is.
