Only obsessing slightly over the movie High-Rise. Of course, famously we know
about eating the dog and the “bottle of sparkling wine” smashing onto his
balcony from above.
Above is Charlotte Melville in the movie,
the dropper of the bottle, I think, played by Sienna Miller. I guess she’s drinking a martini, though I’d
have thought that was pretty unusual in London in 1975, even at swanky parties
in Brutalist tower blocks.
Meanwhile, up on the top floor of the
building Ann Royal, played by Keeley Hawes, the wife of the building’s architect,
finds a more convincingly seventies drinking vessel.
And here is the
best JG Ballard booze image I’ve ever seen.
I found it floating around on Pinterest – it says “saved by Kim Heybourne”
but I don’t know if he or she devised the image. I want one.
Now.
