Polanskis 1968 Rosemarys Baby & the dystopian High Rise 2015 by Ben Wheatley

Rating: 5/10 (14 April 2018)

A very long build up to violence highlighting the feverish connection to extreme punishment.
Oh he/she was really nice person who nodded good morning every day , this is a quiet neighbourhood, they were generous, I can't believe something like this would happen next door, we never really saw them, we never had a conversation,
nobody wanted to bother each other.
Admission - I left the room when the baby was torn apart, glass slashing & the brutalisation of The Mother. Religious metaphors abound from beginning to end.
There have been/are more sophisticated ways to tell The Mother but I'll give Aronofsky the benefit of the doubt. The power of film-making is just out of his reach and hes trying to get there.
Think Leviathan by Andrey Zvyagintsev ..........his next movie is Loveless, an extraordinary film-maker who should be absorbed.
