Description
Standing at a pivotal point in his filmography, poised between his earlier, witty shorts and the unique pleasures of his post-DRAUGHTSMAN'S CONTRACT oeuvre, THE FALLS is arguably the most significant film of Peter Greenaway’s prolific career. Shot as a pseudo-documentary, this magnum opus dazzlingly details 92 case histories of people who have been affected by the VUE (Violent Unknown Event)—a mysterious, apocalyptic phenomenon related to birds, flying, and bizarre invented languages. Winner of the Sutherland Trophy at the **British Film Institute Awards.** Nominated for a Gold Hugo for Best Feature the **Chicago International Film Festival.** *"Peter Greenaway has the most inscrutable, brilliant and possibly deranged mind in modern cinema. In fact, he's one of the few filmmakers still around you would use the term 'modern cinema' for." - Desson Howe, **The Washington Post***
