Streaming Film - Falling

“Falling” is a powerful drama about a difficult father-son relationship. The film stars Oscar nominated actor Viggo Mortensen who is also the writer, director and producer. When 80-year-old independent farmer Willis (played by Lance Henriksen) travels to Los Angeles for an indefinite stay with son John (Mortensen) and his family, two very different worlds collide. Mentally declining, Willis' abrasiveness is both caustic and funny, bringing old wounds from the past and years of mutual mistrust to the surface that boil over into a climactic finale.

Peter Bradshaw of “Guardian” says, “A very substantial achievement.” Sebastian Zavala Kahn of “Ventana Indiscreta” writes, “A remarkable directorial debut for Viggo Mortensen, and a highly personal project that boasts top-notch performances.” Venue: Rehoboth Beach Film Society.
