Going Down

About This Movie

So, 'Going Down' from 2000 is quite the oddity. It straddles that line between drama and dark comedy, capturing this chaotic vibe as a girl abandons her kids at a wedding. The story moves quickly, almost frenetic, as she dashes off with her boyfriend who's just gotten out of borstal. The performances have this raw edge, and there's something refreshingly unpolished about them that really pulls you in. The atmosphere feels gritty, like you're walking through a small caravan park filled with secrets and tension. It's not the usual fare, but there’s a certain charm to its imperfections and the way it tackles unconventional themes. Definitely a conversation starter among collectors.

This film is a bit of a rarity, not widely distributed, which adds to its collector allure. Formats are limited, with some VHS copies floating around, but it hasn’t seen much love in terms of remastering or re-releases. Enthusiasts appreciate it for its quirky narrative and offbeat performances, making it an interesting, if niche, piece in the collection.
