Falling

About This Movie

Falling (2010) is a fascinating exploration of motion and perception, leaning heavily into the realms of imagination and emotion. The choice to use a macro lens in slow motion, projected at varying frame rates, creates a unique viewing experience that challenges traditional narrative flow. There's this dreamy quality, almost hypnotic, that pulls you in, reminiscent of classic German cinema's introspective style. You get this sense of time bending, and the visuals—like nature or human movement—take on a life of their own. It's not about storytelling in the conventional sense, but rather about how we experience what we see, making it a distinctive piece that lingers in your thoughts long after it’s over.

Falling has had limited releases, making it somewhat of a hidden gem in niche collector circles. Its experimental nature and unconventional filming techniques contribute to its scarcity, and there’s a growing interest among collectors who appreciate films that challenge standard cinematic conventions. The varying formats and the artistic intention behind them make this film an intriguing study not just for viewing, but also for understanding the evolution of experimental cinema.
