Pop surrealism meets satirical melodrama, The Texture of Falling is unlike any film that you've ever seen. It transcends genre and defies classification. It follows Louisa (Julie Webb) as a filmmaker reeling from a recent professional dejection, who meets Luke (Patrick Green), a pianist experiencing his own artistic crisis. Despite a long-term relationship with Ati, (Donny Persons), Louisa is intrigued by Luke. As Louisa falls for him, her skepticism of romantic love begins to unravel as she surrenders to her passions. But as Louisa and Luke's romance blooms, a simultaneous story arises as Michael (Benjamin Farmer), a wayward architect estranged from his wife, meets Sylvia, an enigmatic painter. But are these parallels merely a coincidence? Soon Michael and Sylvia embark on a verboten journey of pleasure and pain. But who is Sylvia? As Michael's lust crescendos, he realizes that he has chosen the elusive. In The Texture of Falling, nothing is what it seems. From its opening shot to its startling climax, the film inverts all expectations. Marking the audacious, unforgettable debut of its writer-director-actor, Maria Allred, it is a visual tour-de-force. It asks what is real and what is artifice. Where do our fantasies end and our passions begin?
Leave your thoughts about The Texture of Falling.
| Village VoiceCraig D. LindseyWhile it’s obvious Allred wanted to make a possibly autobiographical, blatantly meta take on how insane young adults get when they fall in love, The Texture of Falling ends up being one baffling, infuriatingly pretentious exercise in indie filmmaking. |
| EricDSnider.comEric D. SniderIt's 74 minutes of mediocre actors giving meek, low-energy performances while reciting clumsily written, faux-philosophical dialogue. |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliIt’s as if the film’s reason to be is its aesthetic, with everything else being of secondary concern. |
| SF WeeklySherilyn ConnellyThe Texture of Falling's ambition can't be understated, but the hyper-stylized execution leans too heavy on the sound and fury. |
| Los Angeles TimesKatie WalshThe film looks amazing, but the writing is painfully pretentious and the acting beyond stiff and amateurish, so it’s impossible to gain a foothold into this story. |
| User ReviewFernando CDefinitely not the normal movie experience, and I appreciated that. Texture has similar aspects to Upstream Color by Shane Carruth, but is way grittier and sexier. The similarities lie in the cinematic language, which is poetic and symbolic. Also, something that surprised me is that there is an undertone of humor in this film that most people may not catch. It is as if it is constantly laughing at itself, not taking itself totally seriously, while seemingly being very serious. I do feel that there could be improvement with dialogue, but this film works on a deeper level, and so all of the other aspects are in service to a surrealistic experience that allows you to question reality in general, should you let yourself go into it. |
| User ReviewGary EThis is the movie I have been waiting for. That may seem extreme but it's true. The director, Allred (also cinematographer), is a master of atmosphere, creating scenes that I believe will go down in cinema history. The story, while not action packed and high-stakes, is packed with internal stakes and layers of meaning and nuance. This is a cult classic in the making. |
| User ReviewJonathan FI just watched this film at its Saturday night opening in NYC and I have to say, it is pure art. I found myself laughing often, which I felt sort of bad about, but there was a lot of offbeat humor and in general the way it was presented had an underlying humorous tone, but offbeat. I am only saying this here because I spoke with writer/director Allred after the screening and told her that and she said it was one of the best compliments she's gotten. It is an unusual film and won't be for everyone, but I felt it was pure art. |
| User ReviewEva JA visually stunning and thought provoking film. The cinematography and visuals were magnificent and truly shows testament to the film makers' vision. The characters are marvelously multidimensional and delicious in their occasional amorality. An extremely original and twisty story line, I found myself trying to guess the outcome and was pleasantly surprised that I did not see what was coming at the finale. After a few different viewings, I was still finding morsels of intrigue that I did not see the first time around. Its a fantastically unique film that I definitely recommend, especially to those of artistic temperament. |
| User ReviewElgado DI attended the NYC premiere of The Texture of Falling and thought it was a very interesting film. A real brain teaser. I'm still thinking about it. |
