falling/fallen

Directed by Barbara Albert (2006), In German; English subtitles. 88 min.

Directed by acclaimed Austrian filmmaker Barbara Albert, Falling is a "charming and intelligent human drama about five independent women, former classmates who have forged different lives since their school days, and who are reunited for the funeral of a beloved teacher. As the five women reconnect, a day of sober mourning turns into a night of sybaritic celebration. Nina, Brigitte, Alex, Carmen, Nicole and Daphne share secrets large and small while reopening wounds old and new. The reunion transforms into a journey, and Falling becomes an impressionistic road movie that keenly essays contemporary women's lives by connecting the fragile emotional truth of youthful idealism with the stark facts of adult reality.
