Review of The Falls

The Falls (1980)
1/10
You will "falls" asleep
9 May 2005
10 minutes into the film, I had to check to make sure this was the right movie. 20 minutes into it, I had to make sure it was indeed Peter Greenaway, and not his evil afterbirth, who directed this. 40 minutes into it, I had to check my pulse for signs of life.

I am not too familiar with the work of Peter Greenaway (_The Cook_ being the only film of his I've seen), but based on this experimental rambling, I don't think I want to.

If you loved _The Cook, the Thief, his Wife and her Lover_ for its visual brilliance, compelling story and vivid acting, I ASSURE YOU, YOU SHALL RUE THE DAY YOU EVER POPPED _THE FALLS_ INTO YOUR TV SET. This film is little more than a Monty Python skit dragged out for 2 hours. The joke is over in the first 5 minutes. Don't waste your lives. Save yourselves. Alas, it is... too late... for me... beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep
