In Free Fall

About This Movie

So, 'In Free Fall' is this fascinating documentary by Hito Steyerl that dives into the world of junked planes – you know, those massive machines just sitting in a desert, waiting for their fate. The pacing is pretty contemplative, almost meditative, as it meanders through stories of these aircraft and what they represent amid economic downturn. There's a stark beauty in the way the remnants of these planes are shot, making you think about the afterlife of technology. It’s not just about the crashes but also a commentary on our society’s decline. The practical effects? Well, it’s all real-world stuff, and that gives it a certain weight. There’s a rawness to it that really sticks with you.

Thematic exploration of economic decline.Unique visuals of derelict aircraft.Thought-provoking narrative structure.
