Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Trivia

Ballard's novel was written in 1975 but studios deemed it 'unfilmable' for 40 years until Wheatley proved them deliciously wrong.

Insight

The film's vertical class structure mirrors real London luxury towers where poor residents enter through separate 'poor doors'—Ballard's nightmare arrived quietly.
