SIFF 2015: Day Four

Back to the Harvard Exit for Hungarian film Free Fall. Absurd and surreal, the film tells the stories of the inhabitants of an apartment building as an old lady, and fellow occupant, steps off the roof. Each story is about a relationship taken to some sort of extreme, whether for laughs or for creeps. Not for all audiences, we did see at least one moviegoer leave halfway through. There are tales of spirituality, romance, maternal and fraternal love, and more. It is a worthy cinematic experience. If nothing else, it was a delight to hear Amon Tobin‘s work throughout. The opening sequence itself is masterful.

Free Fall‘s Bechdel rating: FAIL. I wouldn’t hold it against the film, though. The style and subject matter weren’t exactly conducive to conversation in general.
