Sound of Falling

Vignettes of Alma, Erika, Angelika and Lenka capture generational shifts and haunting parallels of loneliness, lost innocence and misogynistic abuse. A watchful, ghost-like camera observes them and the small intimate details of their worlds. This is a mesmerising film of memories and tremendous cinema that is achingly present, which has seen Mascha Schilinski deservedly heralded as a great new German auteur.
