THE FALLING STAR - the new Abel & Gordon's crowd-pleasing French-language caper comedy

Sep 20 thru 23
Fri to Mon 3:30, 8:15

Dir. Dominique Abel & Fiona Gordon - 2023 - 98m - Belgium & French - In French with English subtitles

The latest caper from Fiona Gordon and Dominique Abel (Lost in Paris, The Fairy) filters the language of film noir through their characteristically colorful palette to create a series of deceptively minimalistic set pieces that recall the best of Tati and Keaton. Abel plays Boris, a former activist hiding from his dark past, keeping in the shadows as a barkeeper until a one-armed vigilante finally hunts him down. The fortuitous appearance of a double – the depressive recluse Dom (also played by Abel) – seems to offer the perfect decoy. But his tenacious and loopy ex-wife, the private eye Fiona (Gordon), could foil their master plan.


“Next time someone wistfully insists, 'They don’t make ’em like they used to,' why not point that nostalgic cinephile to the work of Dominique Abel and Fiona Gordon? The Belgium-based creative couple are almost single-handedly keeping the classic burlesque tradition alive on-screen.” – Variety


“Has all the ingredients which have previously ensured the success of the incredibly creative duo composed of Abel & Gordon... a symphony of primary colours, scenes composed as if paintings, bodies which speak louder than words, dances which suddenly possess the various characters, and irresistible visual ingeniousness.” – Cineuropa
