About High-Rise (2020) — A Bureaucratic Absurdity in 13 Minutes
In *High-Rise (2020)*, directed by Serafim Orekhanov, a 24-year-old Platon finds himself trapped in a bureaucratic maze after landing a cushy job at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs through his parents' influence. The surreal twist? His eccentric boss assigns him an absurd, near-impossible mission within days—one that demands creativity (and maybe a touch of madness) to unravel. With his loyal flatmate Pasha by his side, Platon dives into an offbeat adventure where logic takes a backseat to whimsy, and the line between futility and brilliance blurs.
This 13-minute drama blends dry humor with a quirky, almost absurdist tone, painting a portrait of young adulthood where ambition collides with the absurdity of corporate expectations. Orekhanov's direction leans into the film's satirical edge, capturing a society where rules bend to the whims of the powerful, and the only way forward is to improvise. Expect a short, sharp burst of entertainment that lingers like a clever joke you can't shake.
