High-Rise is an intriguing drama that delves into the life of a young man, Platon, who finds himself navigating the absurdities of bureaucracy. The atmosphere is thick with a sense of disconnection and surrealism, which really captures that post-Soviet vibe. The pacing can feel deliberately languid at times, mirroring Platon's own aimlessness. His eccentric boss gives him a task that spirals into the bizarre, showcasing the absurdity of modern life and expectations. Performances are solid, with a particular emphasis on the awkwardness of young adulthood and the pressures of familial connections. It’s not just a story; it’s a reflection on the complexities of finding purpose within a tangled web of societal expectations and personal desires.
