Cult British director Ben Wheatley (Kill List, SIghtseers, A Field in
England) takes a giant step with
this star-studded adaptation of
JG Ballard’s dystopian novel,
focused on the residents of an
exclusive tower block. You could
say David Cronenberg gave us
an unofficial adaptation with his
debut, Shivers, but we’re excited
to see what Wheatley can do
with a budget.

With Spotlight the favourite for
a Best Picture Oscar, this Chilean drama involving a quartet of
Catholic priests hiding out in a
remote seaside town following
abuse allegations is well timed.
The director is Pablo Larrain,
who gave us the masterful political drama No a few years ago.
