Tonight is the 35th anniversary screening of our debut feature documentary The Falls as part of Canadian National Film Day, presented by Desire In Motion.
This is the late great critic Jay Scott's review from 1991: “Visually beautiful... this film has it all. Composed predominantly of languid tracking shots of the sort directors Peter Greenaway and Jean-Pierre Lefebvre have spent their careers perfecting, The Falls communicates the grandeur of the tumbling tonnes of water by bathing the eyeballs in soaking, wide-screen splendour... The film intermarries the naturally sacred and the unnaturally profane with breathtaking dexterity...The Falls has brilliantly framed Niagara Falls as the picture of a civilization.”
Thanks to Jacob Crepeault, the Desire In Motion film series and CanFilmDay. We could not be happier
