Seeing and Believing: ‘Last Days In The Desert’ and ‘High-Rise’

One of Seeing & Believing’s most anticipated films of the spring, Last Days In the Desert, has hit theaters, so Wade and Kevin do a deep dive into its knotty exploration of Jesus’ human side and his struggle with Satan in the wilderness. They then fast-forward to a very ’70s vision of the future as they take a look at Ben Wheatley’s adaptation of J.G. Ballard’s High-Rise.
